Re: [doc] Minimum offset for rims?

["Stian Birkeland" <delorean@xxxx>]

It's kind of hard to explain, Chris. 

If you look at: 

www.tyres-sold-online.co.uk/online_mechanic.htm 

and then scroll down to where the headline says "Wheel Offsets" and 
read from there, then maybe you or someone else can help me get the 
info I need. 

I have never found out the minimum offset info for the DeLorean's 
rims/tyres.

In my registration document, there are still two open boxes. One of 
them says "Min. rim offset front", the other one says "Min. rim 
offset rear". There are supposed to be numbers in those two boxes, 
and the numbers are supposed to be stated in "mm" (millimetres).

I'd like to fill out this info, so that the registration document 
gets more completed than it is now. Since the DeLorean was never type-
approved in Europe, registration documents (at least for the 
DeLoreans over here in Norway) vary a lot. It's not a big deal, but 
many would like to get a common "standard" registration document for 
the car. That way import and registration for future owners would be 
much more easier. As it is now, each new owner when registering the 
car for the first time has to "convince" and sometimes have to find 
documents to show to their registration authority about the 
DeLorean's specs, and esp. info that are not contained in the import 
papers. It goes without saying that it is difficult to obtain the 
technical info since the factory closed 20 years ago...
