Default Wheel Offset

I tried an old 17" compomotive MO on my escos today.... the PCD is correct but the offset seems way off..... The wheels are ET45 - what would these wheels have been made for and is it possible to get them to fit my escos with spacers / long studs etc.....

correct offset should be ET25, the ones you have may have been for a focus or something like that
yeah you can get spacers made up for them to fit.best bet is to either speak to christian APT or cossymad for some proper hub centric ones

if the wheels are 8" wide you will need a 20mm spacer, not a good idea in an ideal world but i can suppy these if needed.

Martin - I think I will take your advice and forget about these alloys- they were only for trackdays any way.......

Oh and BTW thanks for the gearbox bushes I ordered through Mike R, I had them the week before last.
