Offset for Romero wheels

[cameronfurnival]

Does anyone happen to know what the best offset would be for my sierra based Romero? I am currently on slave wheels (14" sierra) and they llok very close to the springs. I have been offerd some nice 14" alloys but their offset is ET20 - what do you think???

Hi Cameron, The Cabrio wheels have an offset between 23 to 35mm on Sierra runing gear. There is a member, Mike Turpin in Leeds with 17ins rims on his Ykc I will try to contact him to find out his views on offset. Or perhaps if he sees this he will respond.

Wow! Sounds too good to be true. Not wishing to put a downer on your bargain but please check that these are designed to be used on a car. There are some scrupulous companies that sell caravan / trailer alloy wheels and say they can be used on a car. They can not!! They are made from low grade alloy and will break under hard driving use. If all ok then well done on a great looking set of wheels.

yes Jon - they are mille miglias - cheap because 14" and the boy racers dont like them that small! I reckon they will look fine on the romero should it ever get to the stage of moving under its own power! the guy had them on a tiger cat before changing them for some 17"ers
