I reckon theyl be 35ish ofset so will probably touch the trailing arms with escort axle. My 38's needed about another inch to go on the hub.

I had a set of them with 205 50 15's on them. They were fine on the rear but woudlnt rotate on the fronts as they snagged on the wingstays.
I changed them for 13's anyway
Maybe the proper 195 50 15's wouldve solved the probem

fitting a 15x7xet25 in place of a 14x6xet16 you will have 22mm less clearance to your inner strut,and the wheel will also extend out +4mm further out
of your arch,so I would say if you only have 1/2"or 13mm clearance they will foul your strut

If you can get away with a 15mm less clearance to strut,and for the wheel to extend +11mm you could then use standard peugeot fitting 15x7 et 18?

C'mon John, you should be putting 19" wheels on that, 15" wide with 345/35 tyres!

Hi John, I have a set, (5), ford seven spokes with new tyres, (done just 800miles), they are standard ford ET38's, with 195 x 60 x 14 boots. No
flats or kerbing. Complete with a set, (16), of 60 deg loose collar nuts. See my archive for pic's, under wheels. If any good to you, looking
for around £150 the lot. You would need spacers, and longer studs. Regards, Ray
