Hi
i am thinking of changing from the standard 8 hole SL Alloys and wondered what size and offset would be suitable ? I would probably go for 18" diameter as there seems to be more choice?
many thanks

The optional 18" wheels should be listed in your handbook. Early cars had 17" options over the standard 16" wheels.

18s are typically:

8.5J x 18 H2 (25mm offset) Front
9.5J x 18 H2 (23mm offset) Rear

As Stats 007 the first change was 08-98 when 17" were standard and 18" the options, at the end of the run, 18" were fitted to most of the special cars made
