Wheel Fitment

I am looking at a 14 x6, 4 x98 set of wheels w/26 offset. Anyone know if a spacer will be required? I understand my '84 Pininfarina is about an offset of 35. Is that correct?

Thanks,

Robert

My wheels have similar specs and I use the spacer. Is there a reason why you do not want to use the spacer? Also what wheels are you thinking about getting?

I had a set of 1984 BMW 325 "Bottlecap" alloys just sitting around, so I had the front two machined to clear the hubs, and the rear two bolted right on. I'm using longer lug bolts, and two spacers per wheel.

They're 14x6 inch, and I'm not sure of the offset, but they fit, and look pretty cool. All I had to do was bend the brake lines just a bit so they wouldn't rub in the rear, and that was that.

It costed me sixty bucks at a machine shop, but it was worth it. I've been running the rear two while I've been waiting to get the front two from the shop, and though I haven't mounted the tires on the newly machined wheels yet, I can tell that I'm going to like the looks quite a bit, and the 14" wheel size allows me to get a set of those 55 profile Yokahamas I've been hearing about.

I can now restore the set of Factory Roosevelt wheels that were on it previously. They're cooler than the BMW wheels, but the tire options just aren't there for a 13" wheel.

BTW, the dial calipers said that the front hubs on my '69 are 2.398"
