wheel offsets for sprinting or hillclimbing a clubsport

[mnrvortxf20c]

hi,all i have got all the bits sorted on the clubsport now and am after some wheels for sprinting. if i was to go 7 1/2" or 8" front and 9 1/2" or 10" rear. what offsets do i need to avoid any fitting issues?
im thinking along the lines of the compomotive cxr as they are quite well priced.cheers

here's what i ordered

X2 CXR1370 7x13 et0 pcd 4x108 grey finish

X2 CXR1390 9x13 et-20 pcd 4x108 grey finish


Not saying its impossible as i know some have done it but on offering up an 8" front tyre i decided that it would be very tight up front so went 7", a rear 10" would probably fit easily tho.

I have a set of excellent condition 7 & 10 CXR wheels in black that we have used as spares for our PR6 if interested? Only been used for half a season

10" rubs on image wheels too but I've shaved an angle on the top of the bolt head with a grinder and it's working

Someone mentioned to me over the weekend that comp have gone into the hands of the administrators, just had a look and it would seem so.

Why not just get Harry to build you a set of Images - http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/? As they're 3 piece wheels you can get them in any offset you wish and have them easily and (relatively) cheaply repaired if/when you bend them.

I've always used Image wheels on Prosports and also now use them on the rear of the Force LM.

I trust that you've all read this thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... and are paying particular attention to the warning about making sure that you have a safe amount of rod end shank in the wishbone when obtaining the low camber angles required by cross plies or Avon Radials. This may well involve you in having custom, longer top wishbones fabricated.

I've always found that if you start with the right wheels then a c 5mm spacer solves the "wheel catching on wishbone web problem".

A bientot mes braves.

FYI when ordering Compomotive CXR's you can specify the offset you require at no extra cost

i really would like image wheels but can not afford them at the moment. ive been offered some cxr's in the correct offsets so may go that route depending on price!
thanks for the continued help and sorry for all the novice questions!
