Can anyone tell me if there's such an animal as a steel 15" Soarer wheel?

I want to run either 195/45/15 or 195/50/15s on the front to get the spoiler right down onto the salt.

I've tried a 15" Falcon rim, the center register is 10mm larger which is fixable but the offset is wrong and the tyre will definitely hit the guard lip.

I'm thinking perhaps a 15" Camry wheel may fit if there's no Soarer 15s available but need to find one to check.

Cheers,
Rob

99 Magna TH have 5x114.3 - 15" rims and +46 offset which I think will work

Thanks John,

Any idea on the size of the center register of those? The offset sounds better, the Falcon rim was roughly +15mm offset.

I know that both the Soarer and the Camry are 60mm.

The V8s come standard with 15" mags.
Do you want to put them on a V8, ot TT??
15" wont clear TT brakes.

No 15" Soarer wheel in steel, only alloy - the Camrey would fit perfectly though.

Thanks Ian,

Per the title I'm after steel wheels, alloys aren't hardy enough for land speed. I was hoping perhaps that there may be a 15" steel full sized spare. Mine is a space saver :-(

Thanks Matthew,

I have seen a 15" Camry alloy, 60mm center and +45mm offset (printed on the rim) so assume a steel spare would be the same but don't know for certain as yet.

Cheers,

North Richmond wreckers had a couple of Camry 15" steelies so I went and grabbed them this afternoon.

They fit like they were made for the car should anyone want a 15" spare. Offset, center register and stud pattern are all spot on.

Thanks for the help guys.
