I seem to remember that when I bought my minilite replicas, I ordered
them with 4.25 inch wheel offset, which gave me plenty of clearance of
the fenders with 205 tires.

Jarrid,
This might sound silly, but could you confirm what you mean by offset,
please.
I understand it to mean the distance from the back face of the wheel hub to
the outermost edge of the wheel rim that faces to the inside of the car.
Does that make sense?

Looking at a cross-section of the wheel:

WORLD | | CAR-SIDE OF WHEEL
                       | |<----------
                        \ / |
                          \ / |Wheel
                            \ / |Offset
                              \ / |
                                | |<----------------
                                | |
                                | | HUB
                                | |

I have a set of 14x6 minilite replicas, that stick out of the guards at the
front. I would like to replace them with the same size & type of wheel, but
with the correct offset.
Thanks,
Paul.
