Check the wheels section on the SIDC website, has everything on there including correct tyre pressures for 17 s

The offset will depend on how wide a wheel you choose. The Pitch Circle Diameter is 100 mm.

53mm is OEM. 52mm is optimum, according to Prodrive. 50mm should fit OK. 48mm you'll be lucky. 45mm is going to rub on the rear arches.

Default Khans?

Thanks for your help. The one model of OZ alloys that I like, the Hydras aren't made to fit scoobys! Does anyone know of any of the Khan alloys will fit the classic? Thanks
