hello dave,
i have that set-up on my 66.
comp springs all around with 15x6 panasport (offset unknown... i was told it
was the same as the triumph???) and 195.50.15. i do not have my rear fender lip
rolled and it clears fine. however, i think my body (car) is not set centered
on the frame and i have about one inch clearance between the side wall of my
tire to the fender on one side and quarter of an inch clearance on the other.
thus, the side with less clearance rubs when i go over large bumps/dips on the
road... but not too bad. this set-up is fun on smooth twisty roads but "crappy"
over train tracks and etc... (note to myself: must invest in kidney belt)
anyway, call les at cdm. he can give you the specs for the offset.
