I have PM'd BJ, but his PM Box is full .... if anyone is local, can they please mention this thread in passing, so he can reply if he has the time.

I have trial fitted an 10.5 x 18 ET15 on the front and they "poke" about 15-20mm which is enough to get a fail at scrutineering ("tech").

At this stage, I am thinking 18 x 10.5 ET30 all round but run a 7mm spacer on the rear. That way, all wheels are identical which only means I need 1 spare rim rather than 2.

I have an 18 x 9 at ET47 in the shed which has the same amount of rim (with 2mm) inboard of the hub that I can use to check clearances on the spindle and suspension arms etc as I run through steering lock and suspension sweep, so we'll see.

Measure twice before ordering I think .... will need two sets of rims pls a spare so cost is "non-trivial".
