Hi
Does anyone have any info about 'backspace' and offset for 15 inch wheels on a Series 111A Rapier. I measure the PCD to be 4 & 1/4inches.
I want to buy 6J Minilites (195/70/15 tyres) and the supplier needs the above data.
Not sure if they are the same as the Alpine ?

Post changed:
I now want to fit 5.5J for 175/85/15 or 165 tyres.
Same query re offset though.
Any advisers out there ?

Hello, Is there nothing stamped on the existing wheel re ET (which I think is the offset code??) Not sure what it is I'm afraid, but re your tyre thoughts 85 is standard profile as far as I know & if you're going wider then it is usual to drop the profile - eg to 70 to help clearance & keep the rolling radius similar, so your speedo won't be out too much - more important these days with cameras etc about. Cheers. G.

Hi
Eventually settled on 165/15 Vredersteins.
Decided to stay with the original wheels, saves cash and on balance, looks more period.
