Wally,

I maybe being thick here but if you want to clear the arms would a low et not be better, even a - et so more of the dish is on the outside and less on the inner of the wheel.. Not that mechanicly minded but know my wheels so maybe completey wrong..

Anyway i am waiting a set of lightweight Revolutions rfx (5x130) in 16x8 not 15's if anygood the guy i am getting them off said they are 40ish et but can confirm next week

On the other hand i have these BBS 15x8 et-20 about 90mm of backspace on the inside and 100mm on the outerdish

Hope i can be of some help.. if you can get away with 16's what about some getting some cheapo design 90 16x8 et52 or 16" cup1 in 16x8

Nah, I don't need to clear the arms, but maybe my next caliper's size
The turbo alu arms are very much at the outer of the fender, so only high ET rims will work.

The Revolutions seem to have a very high ET! more than 40 I would say from the picture.

Yeah, that is my other option, but still not sure if I will find a suitable drag slick (compound) for that like the M&H racemasters I had on 15"
Thanks Jim!

Split rims is your best option then, at least you can specify offset,

Another thought is alot of people in the golf scene are welding the current PCD's and redrilling to there prefered PCD.. on wheels with a flat centre on both sides..

5x130 is under "optional pro bolt patterns"

And they are only about 100 bucks per wheel!

One thought that I had is a 'Mach5' wheel:

They are admittedly a steel wheel but are reputed to be reasonably light but very strong. They are made to order so you ought to be able to get any ET within reason. The price is ~£125 + VAT & shipping. The Land Rover pcd is 120 or 165 so 130 is within bounds as well.
