Ok its time for me to get some wheels for the project car..I've decided on the enkei RPF-01's.

link to them... http://www.buywheelstoday.com/products/?id=305

Now for what I need to know. I want to run 7" in front and 8" in the rear..(87 T2) What I don't know is what is the lug spacing I need (5-114.3 or 5-100), or whatever I need. Also I need to know what off set I will need to fit them..I want the fronts to have almost no lip and the rear to have about 1inch of lip. So question is what offset do I need to get this done?

NOTE the page posted is not the place I plan on getting them..Local shop is going to make the order unless the price is not as good as the web page.

I hope someone can give me a fast reply on this I'm trying to get them ordered and here before I go back to Afghanistan. Thanks NP.

Unless you want to mess up your scrub radius you want the same or very close to the offset that came off the fronts, on the back you've a little more leeway.

There is the question Mark what are the offsets for even the stock rims...I hate the simple **** that just stresses me out. Oh I passed through Shannon Ir. on the way home for leave...Just loved all the color and the people were very nice..Picked up a bot. of midelton whis.

It should actually be written on the alloys somewhere. Anyhoo shannon is a nice place, everyone comments on how green Ireland is, I thought there was nothing to it until I got back from a few weeks stateside
