Re: [MarcosManiacs] Any advice on Shock absorbers for 1600GT??

2005-04-11 by Don Lattimer

Paul,
I have the original Marcos alloys and they are 5.5J x13". Same PCD.
A 5.5 inch wheel is 6.5 inches total width. The backspace (mounting surface to outer back edge of wheel) on my wheels is 3 inches. That leaves 3.5 inches to the front edge. The center point of the wheel is 3.25 inches. So the offset is - (negative) .25 inches. Clear as mud huh?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please!
Don

Thanks Paul, Don and all

I will try AVO having looked at their website.
Also......... can anybody tell me what the wheel
offset is for the same car??
I have original Minilite Mag Alloys, which are looking
very tired and unsafe, with only ET (?) 82 stamped on
the back although I know that they are 5.5J x 13inch
wheels with 3.75in PCD

Cheeky I know, but you guys know what you are talking
about!!

Thanks again

Paul Verdeyen
