wheels for the coupe

[zak2002]

looking for a nice set of wheels for the coupe. (1971 2800cs with 3.5 l-engine, 1.3 motronic, close ratio 5-speed, 3.25 LSD) I have the 17"- style 32 - 15 spoke on the car now which I got with a trade. they look nice but are a little large for the car. The 16" version is said to have the wrong offset.I believe the offset for the 17" is 41mm. Does anyone know the correct offset? Coupe king's 16" - 20 spoke are nice but pricey- although they may be the only game in town. Anyway I am looking for a set of cool 15" or 16" rims with the right offset for the coupe. anyone? anyone?

(1) figure out what your wheels specs need to be for the 16" and 17"
(2) monitor CL
(3) keep an eye on this forum: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?85-5x120-amp-5x120-65-Wheel-Classifieds

Pretty sure you can run et20 front or rear...if you go wider than 7 inches though would think offset would be critical.

I have all kinds of wheels and can test fit some if you like. Photos and info via email at:

I do not deal in any of those "reps" made in whereverstan. German or Italian made stuff.

Also have some weird stuff like some 14 inch Cosmics from England.

Thanks

thanks HB chris for the 16" offset

offset means nothing if you don't know the width of the wheel.

Correct!

16” is et 11 front et24 rear

This is for a 7" front wheel and an 8" rear wheel. If you run 7" square, you would have ET11 all around.
