Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi All Can someone confirm that these wheels will be ok for my wide track 250 chassis. I will be ordering R15 PCD 4 x 108 offset ET 35 https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/team-dynamics-pro-race-1-2-alloy-wheels-in-black-gloss-set-of-4-2000852/ many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 You don’t say what width. With FW rear bodywork, (which works best with a slightly different offset to ZK, which is effectively slightly narrower across the rear arches), the most popular fitment on the Mega S2000/Sport 250 chassis, (which uses different offsets to standard cars) is: Team Dynamics in Front: 15x7" et40, PCD 4x108 Tyre size: 205/50R15 Rear: 15x8" et24, PCD 4x108 Tyre size: 205/50R15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Obviously, you can just tweek the numbers for different widths, to see the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks Dave it’s a good job I checked. So I need different offsets and widths front n rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came in different lengths back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Best thing to do is get the body on, fit a wheel with a known offset and then measure from there on how much further in or out you want them, there’s nowt worse than a set of wheels lost in the arches. Especially as your using a mix of new and old donor parts. My car for example everything from the factory and the manuals points to an offset of 23 on a 7 inch wheel and yet I’m effectively running a 17 offset but the wheel could come out even more, probably to around a zero offset to fully fill the arch. Again though some of my parts are 20 years old and some are far more recent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Agree with @Steve (sdh2903) I swapped uprights and the driveshafts that I bought with them (which were off the car the uprights came from) were 40mm too short. So my wishbones (2014 model) are wider than the ones the seller used. My wheels are 13x7 ET23 and fit nicely in the arches. But if I had the other wishbones they would be sat well inboard!

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Absolutely what Steve and Chris have said; you're in the dry fit and test territory I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
