Lotus wheels on my 2-dr 340
Hello guys, this is my first post so please be gentle. I've got a 1988 1.4 which was a 1 lady owned vehicle. I'm going to drop it on blocks and stiffer springs (will be looking at previous posts on this!) but in the meantime I have a set of 114.3 x 4 Eclat wheels I wanna fit. Obviously they require adapters but not sure if anyone can recommend a company for making these up? They look like this:

Re: Lotus wheels on my 2-dr 340
Problem you will have is going to be the offset and the fact the volvo runs wheel studs as opposed to bolts. If the offset on the lotus wheels is something like +60 they will work but going on what i think they will be they will be negative something, so by the time you have spacers they will be miles out of the wheel arches.

If they are as wide as my Lotus rims as Adam says above they will stick out miles, mine did when trial fitted and it would take more than a bit of arch rolling to get them to fit.
On the other hand very nice wheels but at the "scene" price on those. Admitedly unpolished but i've seen quite a few sets go for £100 or less on the Bay.

Re: Lotus wheels on my 2-dr 340
Scene price is ridiculous. I got mine cheap from a mate. They have been blasted but require elbow grease polishing. I'll find out the offset

Re: Lotus wheels on my 2-dr 340
Great links - thank you. Just gotta check the exchange rate ($-£) and see if a 1" adapter will make them stick out like hell.
