Unless you have the same arches as a Singer, this info would most likely be useless.

the goal is to fabricate the arches after acquiring the wheels. Singer arches are on the list.

Best is to call Zuffenhaus and they will let you know the specs, Keith told me a few years back but I forgot. With that said, you can order any spec you want.

Why not use OEM fenders and quarters and have the wheels built to spec?

Hand built cars aren't even identical from the factory. Added flairs certainly won't be uniform to a certain measure. If a tight and perfect wheel/tire fitment is essential to your build, then buying wheels and tires in the specs you want and having the fenders shaped around them isn't a bad idea. Don't even have to be the correct wheels, just the size you will always have built for that car. Can actually be easier than trying to figure out wheel specs with spacers, etc, for a perfect fit, if your body shop is up for it.

No offense, but you've got it backwards. Building wheels is an exact science if you know what you're doing. Hand-shaping fenders is not. Singer arches are carbon composite and the rears are bonded to the chassis.

that's exactly what I am going to do, after getting the desired ride hight, I will build the arches around them.

Zuffenhaus does not produce the wheels. Fikse does, I would call them.

Old thread but I'm asking just in case - Did you manage to finally get the offset measurements?

I'm very much interested in these wheels for my project car and I can't find the offset anywhere to order the wheels accordingly.
