<VV> Questions regarding wheel rim.
What kind of option do I have trying to fit a 14"x5.5" (with 2 3/4 positive
offset for an MG) set of rims with 195/60 tires on a Early model (with heavy
springs, one coil cut, and high pressure shocks). I know that the Vair
should have a 13"x5.5" (with 1 3/16 positive offset. Forgive my lack of rim
knowledge but does this difference mean that they would stick out farther
from the wheel well or be deeper set into the wheel well. Could I use a
wheel spacer or if it's the other way what the maximum tolerance for
offset(have a machine shop remove some material from the inside of the rims)
I know that I should get the correct set of rims, but I have been unable to
find this particular style except for in the MG bolt pattern.
Please help me, if this information in the tech guide, forgive me, I own it
but it's not accessible (I packed it with a bunch of other Vair literature
when I moved and it's still in storage)
