Gerry,

You should mention that the rims are for a Corse S, as they will not fit a Hawk, Corse I, or Allora.

David, Why, I assumed that all four stud cars were using the Beta rear hubs, and thought that all the kit model were using the same components ? I have a lot to learn. and at the moment it's a steep up hill curve !

I can't comment exactly on the Hawk, but I'm sure John Rutter can clarify the offsets needed for a Hawk. I think he already mentioned it on another thread on the forum.

The Corse S needs different offsets front and rear - ET0 and ET-27.

I'm not 100% sure on the Corse I. It is about the same as a corse S, but it needs 5 stud Ford PCDs.

The Allora - well, it's offsets are really weird, and nowhere near anything else. I run with a 25mm spacer on the front, and then ET+12 all round on my car.

For my Corse I, Hugh recommended ET-25 on the front and whatever is needed to get under the arches at the back. Without the Gp4 arches I have to use ET-50 to clear a 205 section tyre on a 7" rim. In practice, I use various wheels and spacers (summer, winter, slicks, ice-racing etc) varying from ET-15 to ET-58 without any obvious adverse steering effects.

The Corsa I uses Ford (Scorpio) 5-stud hubs with a 112mm PCD. That also allows the use of a wide range of Mercedes Benz rims which have the same PCD but have a larger centre hole and thus need a small sleeve to seat correctly.

Gerry,

I could be interested if they will fit my Corse S with Gp4 rear arches.

Can you let me know what offsets they have please and I'll have a measure up. Also need to be sure it's a 98mm PCD 4 stud fixing as well.

The other thing - what style are they?

Thanks

Chris

Chris,

Gerry purchased David Boorer's car so you should be able to see them by looking at the pictures of David Boorer's car.
