benhughlett Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hey everyone, Have a ~2002 Caterham SV which I've been refinishing and making "mine" Planning to swap out my 4x108 16 inch 5 spoke wheels to the more commonly available 4x100 bolt pattern like found on the Miata and ordered some adapters. The adapters are 15mm thick, could anyone recommend a proper offset to look at? Anyone recommend a staggered setup with wider rears or am I asking for trouble? Appreciate the help Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 How much horsepower do you have? Are you just doing street or are you going to track it? Most of the UK Lotus seven guys stay with same size fronts and rears with lower powered cars. The higher powered ones, usually do a bit larger in the rear. My 2000 Superlight with 195hp at the flywheel came with 185x55x13 up front and 205x50x13 in the rear . More rear grip less drifting. Your preference.
