Can anyone tell me the size of the 15" Steel Scorpio Wheels in particular the Offset (ET)...................
My 12 Spoke Alloys are 6.5 J X 16 X ET40, what are the steels, I presume they are 6 J X 15 but is the offset the same i.e. ET40 
Cheers Dave

thanks Dave,
need to fit a gravel tyre and use the right distance to check arch clearance, as I don't have the correct rims yet

Does anyone know this offset for sure as ET 49.5 mm seems a bit much to me, but will work ok with the coil overs when fitted
ET 40mm like my 16" 12 spoke Alloys would be better for strut clearance, just wanna make sure I get the right rims for the 15" Gravel Tyres, ATM I have slipped a tyre on a 15" Puma Rim ET 34mm, but that is too little offset and they just foul on lock 
Cheers Dave

Does no one have a steel spare they could read the numbers off for me, (usually around the wheel stud holes inside or outside) ??
It'll say something like 6J X 15 and ??
Dave Tompion may well be right and its ET is 49.5mm, but I just wanna double check, if it's 40 - 50 I'll get some Scorpio Steels for me Gravel Tyres
Cheers Dave

if you run 6x15 peugot 406 steel wheels on a scorpio strut you get obout 20 mm more clearence and they look a stonger wheel if that helps .

Thanks PJ,
We not got no snow yet, I'm praying we don't until tommoz night, cos i gotta tow the trailer and puma from mine to Staffin (North Skye) tommorrow for Paintwork
Guess they must all be 49.5 ET then, that'll work for me
5 Stud,
Thanks for the info, but my Puma is running 4X4 Sierra front hubs, lower arms etc wiv 24V Scorpio brakes, and coil overs with 2 1/4" dia springs..............
16" ET40 12 Spoke Scorpio Alloys fit well for the 225 Tarmac Tyres, but I need 15" rims for the 205/70 Gravel tyres, which are 1/4" larger overall on the tyre radius. On lock they are very close, (7mm),to the outer wheelarch and mudflaps at the lower back sides meaning I actually need to go closer to the strut than the ET34 Puma rim that I have test mounted one on .......................
So actally an ET of 49.5 will be great, as it will put the wheels closer to the struts. (They would foul on standard 4X4 Sierra Struts, but not on the coil overs).
So, Scorpio 15's look to be the ones I need
Cheers Dave
