Hi Chris, I have been told by Performance that their 16x7 superlite bolts onto a 1600 with a 12mm offset too. But with some calcs I don't think this can be the case due to guard clearance:
7in wide with 12mm offset results in a 114mm backspace, or a 90mm distance from the mounting face to outer edge of rim (closest to guard). My 15x6s have a 20mm offset, 109mm backspace, and 69mm distance from the mounting face to outer edge of rim, and they are just fitting with 240K front struts. Therefore 7in rims with 12mm offset would stick some 20mm further out! The performance superlites in a 15x6 have a 24mm offset and so would fit without mods; the 15x7s not without flares :) Andrew > List, > > I was under the impression that the performance superlites were bolt > on but when i rang the guys about the sizes i was told that 15x7 for > 4x114.3 pcd were only available in 12mm offset.
