Looking at buying some later esprit wheels for my SE highwing ('91).

Will the later (eg Oz V8s) wheels fit the car? Has anything about the offsets etc. changed or can I just bolt on?

cheers

Rears should go straight on, the fronts will need modifications either to the wheels or hubs as the 93 on are about 2mm smaller. Easiest to have the wheels skimmed.

You may also have issue with rubbing in the bodywork on full lock, but saying that, there are a lot of pre 93 Esprit running V8 wheels without too much problem.

See www.unity1.co.uk/lotus/ and go to 'Wheels and tyre upgrade'.
