Hi Davo

My Bella run Performance Superlites 14 x 6 x 114.3 with offset 18mm (Aussie made)

Same as on Rod's GT in photo

Fits real well with 185x60x14

Cheers
James

Hi davo
If you are running Drum Brakes 13's should fit

Not sure about Disc brake front end though

My Bella runs 14 x 6 with offset of 18mm but Superlites can come with 24mm offset as well

My advice is run more +ve offset rather than less and adjust with spacer.

The more offset you run the more the weel rim is in towards the inner guard
The less offset the more it will want to come out of the guard or in case of the rears, sit on the tyre = not good

Hope this helps

Be careful using spacers !!!!
Depending on state laws you may be putting yourself at unnecessary risk. I know in NSW spacers are illegal. Cars fitted with spacers are therefore deemed to be "not legally registered" and therefore "not insured".
As the wheels you are looking at are readily available, and are made to order, I don't know why you would take the risk.
