Was looking at getting some appliance pacer wheels for the bay. they are 5/205 not sure of the et tho!
has anyone got these wheels fitted on their bay? photos?
Also what sort of et wheel can you get away with without chopping stuff about?

Thanks Lee
 
I think someone on here had a set of these but had problems finding the correct sleeved wheel nuts in M14
 
well i have seen two sets, think i prefer the first ones rears are 7" fronts are 5"

Mr T is your best bet for getting correct wheel nuts.......

Right this is the information i have got but to be honest i still haven't got a clue to whether they will fit under the rear arches?

the rears from the back of the rim to the centre is 3" and from centre to outer rim (dish) is 4"

and they are 7" wide

someone please help really quite fancy these wheels
 
I would doubt the 7" wide fit under the rears. I have 356 rep rims with a deep offset and they are only 5.5" and this is tight.

That was just off the jack on a 1 spline drop. The lip is now level with the rim so the tyre sits further up the arch. Still tight, just get your little finger between tyre and arch
 
yea don't think i want to take the risk of them not fitting, thanks for the photo uber cool. will just leave the steels on there for now
 
I've got a set of these in 4.5 x 14 fronts and 5 x 15 rears and they came off a splitty so i'm sure they should fit, love the centre caps by the way, mine didn't come with any at all :(

Don't think i will ever find out, shame tho as i really like them. plus i have just bought some dropped spindles so no more money to spend on the bus for a bit :roll:

I think the centre caps were from vw heritage might be worth a look ;)
