Anyone running BSA's and more specifically, the 18 inch 215a's on a 951 (mine is a 1986 early offset)?

I've found some that need a little work - mostly imperfections in the paint (black and chrome lip version) in 18x8x48mm, 18x10x40mm.

I've done quite a bit of searching and have found various pics of the rims on 951's. I'm not sure of the model years, though, or wheel offsets since those weren't always listed.

From what I've found, the 18x10x40mm rears should fit an early offset 951 (a 45mm offset requires some adjusting) without any mods or spacers. I'm thinking of running a 265 but would a 285 fit?

The 18x8x48mm fronts are where I am getting stuck - will they work (plan on a 225) with at least a 1" spacer?

Also, where can I pick up the updated caster blocks? I'd like the added insurance if I go with 18's.

(Sorry for cross-posting, I've posted this in the Wheel & Tire forum and don't know who to contact to have it moved over here)

I am running BSA 18x8 and 18x10

I'm running the 215BF. 8x10 with 40mm offset with 285's. No clearance issues. In front I'm running 8x18 with 48mm offset with 245's. I'm running a spacer on the front for two reasons. First, my center hole was 71.6mm and I needed a 76mm hole to clear the wheel bearing cap. Second, I think they would set too far inboard without the spacer anyway. I think my spacer is either 7mm or 8mm.

Mine is an 86 too. I get lots of complements on the wheels. The rears look huge with the offset/lip. No rubbing either.

That's exactly the info I've been needing, thank you!

Did you have to use longer studs up front with the spacer?
