Default Minilite wheels

Hi. After 20yrs in storage finally in the process of getting (Val) back on the road. I'm wanting to fit 15" Minilite alloys but when googling keep getting different offset and tyre sizes. Any help would be much appreciated

My alloys are 6 x 15 et 23 and they fit perfect and don’t make the steering heavy at all

Are those alloys in the photo? They certainly look like steel wheels! Please tell us the make and supplier. I fitted Minilite copies on my 544, the only offset offered was 20 mm so I was forced to make longer wheel studs and fit a 8mm thick spacer on the front end. Otherwise ( disc brake conversion fitted) the inner edge of alloy fouled upper suspension components.

Image wheels is the supplier they make them to your spec they are 3 piece so easy to achieve any offset you require

With the discs, how much turning circle do you lose? Here in Calderdale, we need all the turning one can get, but have fancied discs.
