Re: [T3] wheel specs

["Shad Laws" <shad@aircooled.net>]

Hey Jason-

The "IRS" T3 has a 46mm offset on 4.5" rims, which the same as a Ghia but
different from a bug.  EMPI 8-spoke rims are 5.5" and have an offset that is
almost identical.  All 914 alloys (Fuch, Mahle, and Pedrini) are 5.5" and
have an offset that is approx. 1/4" larger than stock, so to keep the exact
same offset you need 1/4" spacer plates.  I'm not sure about 5.5"
stock-looking wheels.

The bolt pattern is 4x100mm.  I *think* the bolts themselves are 14mm.

Take care,
Shad
