    Re: Wheels to borrow/rent/buy please for IVA test

    Craig/Tim
    I have now worked through the IVA list and have done everything the man picked up, other than building bigger arches, as hopefully we can do the wheel swap.
    I think your 7 1/2" rims on the back will be fine.
    My fronts are 8" with the outer edge of tyre 2" outboard of the wheel centre cap.
    Offside the wheel/tyre is about 3/4" outside the arch at the key measurement points.
    Nearside it is 1/2" at rear and 1 1/4" at front. This suggests a bit of toe in, but i dont have any way to set this up yet, so I will adjust to get the minimum projection out of the arch for IVA, but I guess it will be about 1".
    Tim if your wheels are 7" front, they key will be the offset and if the tyre edge comes inboard 1".

    Regards
    Steve

    Re: Wheels to borrow/rent/buy please for IVA test

    Hi Steve, I am now back from holiday and have emptied my mailbox.

    My wheels are 16" Compomotive MO.
    Here is all the info i have for the wheels:
    Front:
    Size - 7x16
    PCD - K
    Offset - ET40
    Centre bore 63.5
    Ford fitting

    Rear:
    Size - 7.5x16
    PCD - K
    Offset - ET27
    Centre bore 63.5
    Ford fitting

    They sit inside my front wheelarches and do not protrude like yours.

    As i mentioned, I am happy for you to borrow them but i will need the car with wheels to attend the Rally Show at Castle Coombe and also need to get up to Craig @ LB for a few days before then to get some work completed.

    Please contact me on PM or ring me to discuss.

    Cheers
    Tim
