For about 25 years I was running 14 x 7 inch Wolfrace wheels on my Vixen I
auto crossed ( US style) for about 15 of those years And never had a problem
other than an upright snapping. The offset was wrong so I had to put 1/4
inch spacers on the rears so that the tires wouldn't rub on the lower A
frames. I believe it helped my times. I will be going back to the stock
wheels after this restoration.
