Offset for 17" wheels to fit Chimaera ?
Discussion
If you keep the same rim widths (7" front, 7.5" rear) as standard then your 17" rims will need to have the same offset as the originals. I don't remember what the offsets are but I know they have been asked for, and given, several times on Pistonheads. Hopefully a search of the archives will find you the answers.

Offset is cast on the inside of one of the spokes of the standard wheels. I have posted them before, try the search engine!
Ok, saved you the bother, here it is: www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=2609&f=13&h=0&hw=offset

Thanks everyone , on doing a bit of research I have found out that the off sets are different front to rear
but a safe route to go is to use ET30 all round , tried and tested by Peninsula and also recommended by some wheel manufacturers.

Indeed Phil which just goes to prove my point! Yours were cast as 25mm front and 35mm rear - same as the cast marks on mine. Yet when "measured" were 25mm front and "40mm" rear. Now Peninsula are suggesting 30mm all round. So if you go that route you will have between 5-10mm extra inside the rear wheel arch - may not be a problem but "could" be. R...
