deep dish wheels question

Post by cabaret »

I'm trying to get a set of Deep dish 8 spoke wellers for the rear of the capri,

Does anyone know what's the most negative Offset I can fit under standard arches?

I'm looking at 15/8 or 15/7 but want as deep as physically possible.

Can't speak from experience, however after doing my own research ET0 on a 15x8 seems fairly common so long as you don't go crazy on the tyres.

Like I say I haven't measured them myself but it's a real shame that ET0 is all that can possibly fit under those arches before it would protrude outwards.

A Negative offset of like Et-20 would have been real nice

Cheers

^^ This is what I have, it's pretty close, wouldn't really want any more than that.
