RAW Striker Wheel offset
peter030371 - 10/7/14 at 08:54 AM

I am looking at getting some 13"x 7" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels for my Striker. What offset are others running on a sierra based front and rear end? I will be fitting 185/60 tyres front and 205/60 rear if that make much difference.

I would love to get 6" fronts but Team Dynamics say the do not get enough demand for this size which is a pity as a 185/60 Toyo 888 tyre is spec'd to fit a rim no bigger than 6.5"

I ran Caterham wheels on mine 8" wheels rear 6" front, had to run small spacer ie 5 mm on them on fronts to clear, offset 24 mm they fitted a treat

Will be worth a measure up to be sure. Or use a set of wheels you have already as a base point.

Thanks for that answer, I did have the same wheels in grey for my old Striker but sold them on as I really want black wheels!

Did you have to do any mods to the rear to get the 13" rims to fit?

If live axel you don't but with my IRS ar I had to reduce the height of the upright a small mod I think maybe some photos in my archive,
