Might reunite my wheels onto my 356 now !!

So chrome BBT sprintstars it will be I have found a UK supplier and will be ordering shortly. Could someone let me know how I measure the offset on a standard 356 wheel so I can get the sprintstars close to this ?? I think I will go for 5.5 all round - I don't think having 4.5s on the front will rea...

A really lovely example

Although I can not see any seats in it !

Just been looking at the BBT catalogue What sort of offste would work best for the 356? For 15 x 4.5 (fronts) they offer ET +15 / +25 / +34 For 15 x 5.5 (rears) they offer ET +10 / +15 / +25 / +34 Do I go for chrome and black or grey and black - car is silver and currently has chrome rims - I think ...

Thanks guys these are certainly worth investigating

I hope that once I have sorted it I will get some photos of the finished product up for you all to see!

Might be the best route??

All the best and good luck

Brilliant thanks for the feedback guys I have ordered 52mm long studs which seem to have the thread pretty well all the way down, so that might help too. I did speak to Machine7 but their spacers would not help with this application. I hope to make some progress once they arrive! All the best Regard...

It seems that the obvious solution it to fit the longer wheel studs as used for wheels using spacers. They cost $4.50 each x 20 = $90 I have found that you just need to hammer them out of the drum and then press / knock the replacement stud in. I think this will be how I will go to get the wheels in...

Hi all I have picked up 2 x Flat4 sprintstars for the 356A Thought this would freshen the look and I would continue to enjoy using the car more! Anyway I offered up the wheels and have found that the threads are not long enough for the nuts to get a thread........ I have not found anyone who has men...

I like the look of this car so much that I have purchased some sprintstars for my 356A ! Not quite the same on a coupe but a homage non the less to this wonderful Speedster.
