Westfield Chesil Limited Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Good Afternoon All, I have been in contact with our supplier regarding 13" pro race 1.2 wheels. What demand is there for 8x13" or 9x13" wheels? Parts Department Quote
iowlee Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Definite interest from me, depending on offset/fitment. Lee 2 Quote
stephenh Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Patrick, based on my experience with my old car (factory built, early 2008 aerosport) a 9" wheel would only fit if the car had extra wide wheel arches. I used 8" latterly on the back, and they only just fitted between the suspension on the inside of the rim and the plane of the outer arch on the outside. 4 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Might be interested in the 9" depending on offset range available. And also, whether they clear Golf callipers! 2 Quote

Tyre choices seem to be causing issues with some wider rims these days. 1 Quote
Patrick Costello Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Thank you all for the interest so far. I'll contact our supplier and discuss what offsets would be available. In relation to tyres for wider width rims. I can always speak with our suppliers. Yesterday I was able to offer more competitive pricing on our standard range up. If tyre sizes are available I would keep the prices as keen as possible. 2 Quote
Andrzej Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 For the tyres from F3 teams (used, cheap slicks) for rear 240mm wide the 10" is recommended (9" propably still ok) and for front for 200mm tyres 9" is recommended. I was lately looking for such rims and not too much to choose from. Ended with Revolutionwheels. If Pro race are cheaper, then the demand propably will appear. (arches can be extended with spacers) 1 Quote
Westfield Chesil Limited Posted February 11, 2020 Author Posted February 11, 2020 8x13" inch may be added to the range. Who has 8" currently fitted to their vehicle and what calipers do you have installed. Can I see some images please. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Ah no help then. FWIW, would be looking, (going just off on line calculators), at something like a 13"x9" ET 0 rears, to move the outeredge approx 35mm further out. Quote
S2T Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Patrick given the Caterham 620r uses a 6x13 front wheel is there any appetite to pursue that size? 1 Quote
Patrick Costello Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Good question.. I'll see if it's available. Our of curiosity what wheels does it have on the rear? Quote
