I'm thinking of getting some custom wheels (15"x7") made. What is the proper offset for 7" wheels on four lug car? I have rolled fenders in the rear. Also what is bore diameter and depth for hub centric wheels?

Joe R- Tell us more about the diamonds? How's the fitment? 8" with stock fenders? REALLY?!?!? Are the lips cut off or bent up? Fenders "batted" a little? Is the weight of the steel wheel an issue? Which lugs do you use? How long have you had them, and what are the wheel specs? Are all 4 the same for ez tire rotation?

I grabbed some of the so4's on sale as well, threw them on some fuchs 4 bolts that were taking up space in the garage. I have some rubbing in the rear, ? due to tire being pinched on rim? Wonder if some 7 or 8's would solve that?

I'd like to know your experience to look for some solutions to my issues.

thanks!

please re-read all of the posts on this thread before getting too excited (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

he does not have the rims yet (excellent choice for the money)

his fenders will not be stock in the rear...unless he installs air shocks so that he can lift the rear of the car up in order to clear them (dukes of hazard) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

unless diamond has changed things, you must run special lug nuts......
