Dolomite wheels

Post by Daveylozzy » Sat Jun 01, 2019 7:37 pm

Hi all,
A quick question to you. Do the classic Dolomite alloy wheels fit the Marina? I know the PCD is the same but i was concerned about the 'Offset'. Basically, will they just bolt straight on? As ever, your help is much appreciated.

The Dolomite wheels have a 25mm offset and Marina wheels 13mm, so ideally a 13mm (1/2 inch) spacer.

Dolomite steels don't clear the calipers on the front, I found that one out the hard way!

A lot of aftermarket wheels that fit the Dolomite (and Spitfire/ GT6, which have a more suitable offset on the original wheels) will fit straight on even though the factory wheels don't.
