TR5/TR250 Roto aluminum wheels on ebay

Been eyeballing these wheels for some time now and been wondering how these would fit my TR250. They have them listed for TR6 but note that they are 7 inches in width with a 12mm off set and I think the 6" have a 3mm offset. Factory steel wheels have a 0 offset so the little extra offset is to keep them away from the fender? Also the 6" ones are $100+ cheaper. Don't understand that because there is more material in the wider ones so more machining too.

I've seen those on ebay as well. But I got my LeMans wheels from Hap Waldrop, a member here. Not that much more in cost, and I felt more secure buying from him.

FWIW, I have 16x7 Konig Rewinds on mine that have a 0 offset and they fit fine.

I was asking because every time I get the $ saved up to purchase them then something happens and I need to spend the $s on a house item. Just happened again last week over 1k in water equipment. The 7" are always less dollars then the 6" for some reason. So if the kitty is almost full and the itch gets too strong I can opt for the 7"ers.

Tush what tyers are you running? Don't want to buy new treds too.

I've got 205/70/15 Hancooks. I was concerned that I would need a wider tire or something. Thanks for the link however I didn't see the finish I wanted.
