Subject: [Fot] TR3 wheel offset
Amici,
What wheel width and offset are y=E2=80=99all running on a vintage legal tr=
ack car?
I=E2=80=99m looking at buying I set of vintage wheels that have practically=
zero offset. Attached are photos of my test fit that show the wheel sits i=
n more than seems right. I like the wheels but I=E2=80=99m not sure they=E2=
=80=99re what I need.
On the front the outer rim is a couple of inches inboard from the fender li=
p. On the rear the inner rim clears the leafspring by less than a half inch=
. You can see where the previous owner notched the leaf springs so the tire=
won=E2=80=99t rub, so I suppose I can make these wheels work but I might b=
e giving up track width.=20
Thanks,
Dusty Nicholson _______________________________________________
