If they're original D1's you won't need to know the offset because they only made one type and they're barely passable with 145 tyres on and S brakes. That's why you see very few on S's and so many on Minis with small brakes. If they're repros I haven't a clue.

Hope this helps.

Yep, they stick out too far. They are barely passable on drums, but whack a set of S disks on and they are out too far.

If you want 165s to fit, track down a set of compomotive multispokes.

Despite my previous post I will say I've had two S's with them on though, not bad on the front if you can get a bit of negative but certainly not ideal as this shows...

I have a set of Org. D1s and I have run them though two sets of 145s without flares. Cooper S fronts and super mini fins rear. Let me know what you get for yours as I want to move mine along also. Going for 4.5 S offset minilites with 165s. New power is more than the 145s can stand. Steve (CTR)
