Hello,
Thanks Naj, Hauser
I read that part in the Technical manual " FUCHT 15 x 7 x 25 offset not yet confirmed to work on W113".
The pictures of the Hatch car are encouraging for me as it kind of confirms what I thought, ie. the wheels should work.
I have set it up on my restore car and can see that with this offset there is plenty of room on the fronts.
The rears seem to pretty much fill the wheel arch and will come near to flush with the outside of the flared arch.
I like this look as seen on the last couple of pictures on the grey Hatch car. Since my car is not yet on the road, it is difficult for me to ascertain the final position on the rears as I cannot get the rear axle to sit at its correct angle.
I kind of doubt that Hatch would have modified the set up of hub to wheel relationship since the only sensible adjustment available would be to reduce the offset even further, pushing the wheel even further out.
It is unlikely that they would have adjusted it the other way since you would have to take material off the wheel or adjust the hubs.
I would like to hear if there is anyone else running with these wheels?
Scoot
please hurry up and sell those 14 by 6 alloys - I am so..... tempted. but I have already invested in going down the route of trying to create the 15" alloy/hubcap combination
