Will these wheels fit my MK Indy
Fronts: 6J x 13, ET24
Rears: 8J x 13, ET24
Can anyone forsee any problems with my running these wheels, considering the 'standard' would be ET35
Please let me know if someone has tried before and succeeded/ failed.
Thanks in advance, Olz.

Just to clarify - I mean about the offset... as they'd stick out a further 11mm to my current wheels
Not so much the size of the wheels being 13s - I know i'd have to replace the rear caliper spring...

I presume ET40 would have been better... at least that way I could add spacers to bring them out a little...

I take it they're the correct PCD 4 x 108?

Fronts won't cause you any problems, maybe a slight modification too the cycle wings and brackets and that should be ok, But the rear, assuming
your currently on 7" rims with et38, then the 8x13 et 24, will stick out further by approx 23-24mm

Thanks for the replies, yes they are 4x108 PCD...
The're Caterham R500 Superlight wheels...
Using the calculator above (cheers chap) they indeed will stick out another 24mm...

Wouldn't want any adverse affects to the offset that was all.... I remember a while back on previous cars, having the lower offset can cause
tram lining etc
Going now to search for pics of your Indy with the wheels on

Think you will find its what Danny uses on his mk race car with the wider arch,
Ask him I'm sure he can help on this,
But uses I think 7" fronts not the 6"
I use the wheels and don't suffer with tram lining as only have a 185 the on the front,
Cheers
