Dano - Where did you buy the Revolution wheels and what do they cost? Any chance I can see the side profile of your car so I can see both wheels? Thanks.

Thanks,I got them straight from the manufacturer in the U.K. Revolution competition wheels website.If you go to the thread (Revolution wheels)started in october I put the measurements on that thread.One note: when we mocked up the wheels using a 67.5 roadie at the machine shop the wheels stuck out farther.On my 69 they fit perfect under the fender after being machined.The high wind sheild appears to have more flare.I can add a Pic when I'm home at the end of the week.They are a very light weight wheel at 7-8lbs compared to most other non stock options.I believe they were around 8-900$ U.S. Thanks.

1967.5 with Rota RB Hyper Black 15x6 20 offset

Yokahama 195/55/15

I ordered the 73mm, but they did not fit the front hubs. Had a local machine shop bore the inside of the hub to fit.

I'm still looking for new wheels, but with my '66 roadster I have to keep in mind the smaller flares at the front.
My question is, to the front, runs the rim to the sway bar or the tire, there are here wheels with 20, 25 and 30 offset in 15x7"
But not 6", or you must like minilites.
I saw that panasport has 15x6 +15 but with the offset calculator it is with a 15x7 +28 offset is that correct, and I think that the width does also something 185 or 205 makes a cm at both sites extra isn't it. that means that the offset is another +10 less, correct?
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.

If your tires must be completely under the fender, than 15x6 or 6.5 would be better fit.

15x7 +12 clear the sway bar with 195 or 205 /50 tires. The tread is under the fender on the large flair. but maybe not yours.

There is a stop adjustment than can be changed to limit the turning so the tire does not hit the sway bar. This will limit your turning circle, but still drivable.

"15x6 +15 but with the offset calculator it is with a 15x7 +28 offset is that correct" they have the same outside location....inside is 26 mm closer to the frame.

What are the laws in the Netherlands?
