Everything posted by you'll get 10s on that

  1. Hi Again The 9" Compos on Bay are ET-12.....That's a NO NO based on the dimensions you provided These wheels will be approx 10" overall and will extend out from the mounting face 5.5" Beware. If you have metric studs you can get conversion wheelnuts to suit Grp4 wheels direct from Compomotive In relation to the 8" wheels at ET0 they will have 4.5" of wheel outboard.....Hope that helps
  2. Hi In relation to the dimensions you provided you can havea 9" wheel with an offset of ET25 (I;ll explain....9" wheel with et0 will give you 5" inboard and 5" outboard so to bias it 1" inboard you need to move the wheel 25.4mm inwards) In relation to how much tyre room you have that will depend on the sectional width of your desided tyre. Once you have that you can use your offset value to determine how that tyre width is split. but you say you have 11" so you could well get a 10" wheel on that....if you have allowed the extra inch split betwwen the outside and the inside then the offset will remain the same and you need a 10" wheel with an offset of ET25 ( that would have a backspace dimension of 6.5") Once you have your tyre spec post it and I will clarify
  3. Quality Just looking at your 64ft times at Brighton....awesome mate ..no wonder you left him for dead
  4. Hi EVERYONE....DON'T SHOOT ME AS i DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO...Saw at Autosport 07 this weekend a set of Dunlop alloy wheels for sale...I was in such a rush as I had a meeting with somebody on another stand..but theynwere reasonable cost. Stand was RDB 93 LTD guys name was Robert and phone number 0151 355 0004...well at least I grabbed a business card as I rushed past the stand!!!!! I have no connection to these people...so good luck
  5. WOW They look sharpe on the Festa. The Wolfrace wheel refered to is the Turbo which was a generic design of the time. Many US wheel manufacturers supplied similar designs .I don't think its a Wolfrace as they usually have a small "banana" in the rim edge that shows the wheel size and offset . I think they may be a Performance wheel (yes the original manufacturer of the Superlite). Are there any markings in the back of the wheel? which may help to ID?
  6. Harry..... Monk..no doubt lol.....no not me......Never have been and not likely to be either!!!!!!
  7. OOOOps I stand corrected re Broadspeed....used to have a VHS with some race action but my memory's obviously playin me up.....top advise from Retro Boys.....well we're all sorted then...Roll the Anglia van over and liberate that axle.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. quite right Mr Vista.....Bubble on front only yuck!!! Broadspeed did run some cars with bubblearches rear and standard front arches(non mexico) and that looks weird enough!!!!!
  9. as I said elsewhere...the wheel choise for the Modena car was based on the width of the running gear and the width of the car. The XR4X4 runninggear track is very wide in considertion to the width of the arched Escort. When I did these wheels for the builder he originally wanted 15" 4 spoke split rim Revolutions but they are so outset it wasn't possible. The original builder/owner of the car came from Chesterfield so maybe he still owns her...nice to build a "keeper"....was..and hoefully still is a great car!!!!
  10. take a look again at the (lovely) vista orange with them on...its shows front as well........very max.
  11. not that I'm ever the sceptic.....but....30 minutes to fit £100 outlay and 20bhp........why aren't we all using these?...wonder why you can't purchase in Germany..USA etc??????. Hey if you got the money why not....
  12. All down to interpretation of "fit" 7" wheels with an offset of ET6 are (IMHO) the MAX on a MK1 and that may need a bit of dressing on the rear arches. Real issue is that Superlites are ET-7 and therefore stick out a further 13mm (that's half an inch in old money)
  13. my listings show the Superlite 7x13 at ET-6 (Because of the wheel's Australia origin I imagine they designed these for rwd Toyota AE86) Their 6x13 is listed as et24. The offset for an Anglia needs to be ET6 as this will allow the fitment of 175/50 without any bodymods......even the usual front wing mod by the valance. Using this offset they will also (just) fit under the rearof a MK1 'Scort but it is tight.On the Mk2 (Scort) its not a problem.
  14. so Jon.....are you in the market for some wheels for your car?
  15. Hi Guys....Anglia saloon axle is 4" narrower than a std English axle and an Anglia Van is only 2" narrower than the Escort. Looking at the photos the van axle will sort your problem...just need to find one.
  16. Hi Guys....re Superlites...aren't they et -7 and that's why they're such a problem on Mk1s and Angleboxes. If they are infact ET7 then they are ideal for these. Compo might be interested in a group buy.....i'll check.....much better in terms of strength and durability......and not so tarty (IMHO) compared to those polished rims and there made in England rather than Australia ro China.
  17. Hi Burns..cheers for the biggup
  18. Hi The modena green Mk1 with bubble arches was based on an XR4X4 floorpan. now they are cheap enough. Guy fitted 6x15 high inset wheels all round because of the wide track of the 4x4 running gear. Iknow as I supplied the wheels way back in about 1996
  19. Hi...are you serious mate ..5.5x13 ET25 will be sitting sooo far inboard you'll need a torch!!!! Need at least an 8" rim with et-12
