JBH Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Posted: Saturday, March 01, 2008 5:03:00 PM Caterham has two cycle wing sizes. One for 13/14 inch tires and the other for 15/16 inch tires. Alaskossie Posted: Saturday, March 01, 2008 2:16:24 PM I think that front cycle fender clearance is a problem only if you try to fit 15-inch wheels and tires on a Caterham that was originally supplied with 13-inch wheels and their corresponding cycle fenders and mounts. If you fit 15-inch wheels and tires on a car with the appropriate 15-inch cycle wing mounts, there should be no problem. At least that's my assumption -- I ordered my Caterham with 15-inch wheels, and no one said the proper cycle wings and mounts would not work. Dry runs with this combination show no interference. Ahhh...I learned something new - I thought the Superlight was 13" wheels only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I apologize if I skipped over the part where you stated the place you bought these wheels? I order my Megabusa in a few days and I need to order these wheels at the same time! I emailed US Caterhams, but no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I bought mine from Ben at Rocky Mountain Sportscars. He is a good guy and can get you sorted. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm so damn confused on these wheels. Ben @ RMSC states the 13x8" rear offset is 39mm. Blatchat states et24. If I were to purchase the 13x6 fronts, and 13x8 rears would I need spacers or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimon Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Just to clear things up...or muddle them more; The 15" rear wheels on Tom's car are 9" wide CSR wheels. I've had them on my pre 96 chassis with no issues, save maybe the stock over-running ARB. My ARB is highly modified to fit.(bent) The offset is just a tiny bit less than the 15 X 9 Kodiaks and 225/50/15 tires that I normally run. The tires on the Kodiaks run a good .250". away from the radius rods. I don't have any scuffs in the powder coat. The CSR wheels and Avons run 3/8" away.

manik Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 The Image Wheels that Westfield specs for the Megabusa are: 7x13" and an offset of ET23. The BRM wheel, in your choice of color naturally: http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/wheels/large%20cast/brm_13.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
