Early Stevens wheel size?


Recommended Posts

Am I correct that the early stevens cars had 15" front and rear? and that the rear are staggered? Thanks

Yes. 15 x 7 front wheels, 15 x 8 rear. Early cars with the Citroen gearbox all fitted with wheels whose offsets differ front to rear.

@drdoom mine is a UK version with Renault box, but i believe it is same wheels. Currently have GT3 wheels but looking to taking back to original setup.

The Renault trans cars had the outboard rear brakes. So they are not staggered as much with offset as the North American '88s. (Different rear wheels, but width would be the same)
