Plagued by me wheels

[Badger]

After much fookin around, got the full set sorted, wheels n tryes.

Now the problem.

The new modular isn't offset like the others, in fact after a quick measurement of the distance from the plate that bolts to the axle ( not the centre point of the rim ) the others are apprx 27mm further out.

Looking on paddocks ( where i bought the new rim ) it tells me they are +8mm offset, combine that with the 27mm to gain the offset of the other rims, i'm looking at a modular with a 35mm offset?

Is this correct? I asked at the local Landy parts place and i was told that older modulars did come in a variety of offset measurements.

Will give it a google later, just thought i'd ask whilst i'm at work atm.

Cheers

15x 8 rims btw.

If exchanging the rims is not an option then 30mm wheel spacers will get you back close! (if I understood the problem correctly )

I did consider that, using a 30mm spacer to bring the wheel pretty much inline with the others, but aesthetically it'll look odd.

Not concerned about exchange, i'd just buy one if i could just find a stockist!

aahh, just the one wheel that's a problem, I see. Just a bit of shopping around I guess, we don't keep wheels so I can't offer anything, we only do some alloys to order. This is one of the reasons we don't keep em as there are so many different ones out there and there are a few places that do nothing but wheels & tyres.
A lot of these used to be manufactured by Mangels so it might be worth checking one of your others for a part number to help track down the right one.
