Is ET18 the correct offset for a 7" Minator...

[CageyH]

With a PCD of 4.25" or 108mm?

I have done a search in Techtalk and get various responses.

 

Forgot to mention it is a de dion fitment.

Cagey.

 

Funny you ask. I bought a pair of 7'' minators with CR500s (see other thread) from George Polley as I knew he would know which one to go for. Will it be marked on the wheel, if so I can have a look for you tomorrow.

 

Thanks for your advice on my overheating problem.

Peter,

 

That would be great. Thanks.

Just out of interest, what was the total price?

 

As for the overheating problem, no worries. I have been there after picking the car up from having some work done.

 

Hope all is well with it now.

I am away from home at the moment and can not remember offhand. I will blatmail you offline the price tomorrow.....just in case Mrs Pelico is looking 😬

The two 7" wheels that I recently bought from Polleys for my dedion are ET5 having an internal offset to the rim of 120mm. The outer edge of the 205 tyres are flush with the outer edge of the rear arches. 😬

Do different wheels need different ET's

 

Polley recommended ET24 for Compomotive CXR's for 7" rears

I think you will find that most 13" wheels, Ford fitment, of that sort of width, 7 or 8" are destined originally for Mk1/2 Escorts and are usually ET5. The narrower ones, 6 or 6.5" are available in a better ET20 sort of region

I think this is historically for caliper clearance issues and to hell with steering geometr, scrub radii, kickback etc etc
