Hi, looking for 13x8 wheels with 100 pcd, curantly running 15x6.5 with a 38mm off set, what off set would i be looking for on the 13x8 to keep the same outside line? im located mid Devon. Jon

S2000 midget... were you going round the track at the Retro-Rides gathering?

You'd be looking at a very high offset to keep the same outside line, around ET55 which I doubt you'll find without custom split rims (= ££££). You'd probably be pushing clearance on the inside and compromising steering geometry too.

Thought about some period style arches?

Hi yes great day at retrorides, there are arches on it giving room for a lot wider wheel, i've had a 15x8 on, thing i'm little concerned about is clearance of the calipers as it's on MX5 hubs.
