Alloy wheels
« on: 12 August 2010, 19:07:14 »
Can anyone tell me what the Offset is on my standard 16" alloys????
I am thinking of getting some 18" rims in the future but need to know what size tyres i will need (ideally) and whether or not i will need to modify the arches (especially at the front for the steering) in any way????

Why oh why was there never a V8 Omega????
Such a missed oppurtunity.
Look forward to the Cadillac ATS & ATS-V. Maybe a re-badged one will replace the Miggy as a RWD runner?

Nice Miggy, but your brakes look a little lost behind those huge rims. No point getting bigger anchors though unless a bigger engine goes in too????

I've always said that Les  :y Larger diameter wheels, especially of the wide-spoked variety, really need much larger discs to look the part.

There was once talk of a 5.7 V8 (LS1??) going into a miggy which is my idea for a race replica V8Star car (road legal).
Check out some of my older posts.

imo looks more classy with original discs, oversized discs draw the attention away from the rims.. the only thing that would add to the overall effect would be high-temp red paint on calipers, especially on a white mig  ;) inexpensive & easy to do  :y

Easy and cheap way to make your Mig look like a Saxo.  Nice!  8-)
