MK1 Wheels

Post by Hopper »

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'm unable to find an answer.

MK1 Capri Wheels:

I fancy putting a set of 15s onto my Capri, What offset will I need for 7 Inch wheels? Also If I go down the route of bigger front disks or disks all round later, do these conversions move the wheels outwards from the body?
I'm thinking of putting on a set of 300mm disk that Tickover offer as a kit on the front.

What the story with the hub bore though? as I recall Ford was 64mm or so usually? will that larger hub bore be an issue?

Cheers

I have 15" performance wheels

And I have a Willwood 285mm / 4 pot midlite calipers kit from Burtons. The kit came with plain vented discs and then I found Rally Design does drilled and slotted discs ( look way cooler ). You might also consider ally hubs as they go some way to offsetting the extra weight of the larger discs

And the pic shows 110mm from mounting surface to inner edge of rim

Anyone happen to know what sort of wheels these are? https://www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/6790688073 pretty smart looking on the Three.
