wheels

hi everybody, does anyone know where i can get 14 inch wheels to fit the chevette bolt pattern with the right offset, i can find a lot of wheels with the right bolt pattern but the offset is way to much, i believe i want a 3.5 or 4 inch offset, thanks

Offset is how far (+ or -) from the center of the wheel the bolt surface is. I think your are referring to Backspace.

Check out the wheels on the Pink MG. These are Chevette pattern (4 x 100mm) wheels with the correct backspace. I bought them from U.S. Wheel in 2005. They are Series 97 wheel, 14 x 6.

There are also shops that can make any 4 x 100 mm steel wheels into any backspace and diameter you want. Wheel Works is one and they are in Bordentown, NJ.

Have you tried Nissan 200SX wheels? They are RWD and may have the right backspace.

I have a full set of origional basket wires ( complete with all baskets and caps) They are for the Ford CMC MGTD.

I changed to 80 spoke wires and don’t need them.

If any body is in need of them , let me know.

[Dan Rosa]

Yes  ;i think they will fit on a chevy kit ?? not sure is there any one out there that knows ? I’ll measure mine tomorrrow and post to you  the size  ,is the chrome GOOD ??  Dan R

[Mark Hendrickson]

The Ford bolt pattern is 4×4.25″ (108mm) and uses a 7/16×20 stud

The Chevette is 4x100mm and uses a 12mmx1.50 stud.

I bought the 14″ wheels that are on Larry Murphy’s BCW Chevette TD from U.S. Wheel. The sit just right on the car too.

Keep in mind that offset is not back space.

In referance to the chrome basket wheels, they in xtremly good condition for 27 years old. No Rust

Coffey PM me as to price for the baskets and backing cups? if you are selling the wheel I guess I can’t use them   Dan R

[Rob Baker]

Coffey I could use one chrome rim if you want to ship let me know what it would cost. Thanks

[Dan Rosa]

Me and Rob must be in the same basket ,all i need is one the spair mine is rusted bad and chrome paint just  looks like a poor cover up !! at least the outher 4 are good I guess the rain sat on that wheel

[CoffeyD]

I have been out of town, soory for delay responding.

I have 4 complete basket wire wheels that were on the car for the past 25 years. They are in good condition. I understand you guys need only one wheel each. I can get into the warehouse this weekend and send you photos then.

I will take $40.00 each for them and you pay shipping. I f they were Junk I would not offer them.

Hope this helps.
