Revolution 13x5.5 wheels with 104mm backspace fitment

PostPost by: pianoderby » Mon Sep 04, 2023 5:35 pm

Has anyone fit a set of Revolution 13x5.5” four spoke knock off wheels to an Elan? Revolution tells me that these are for a +2. The backspacing is listed as 104mm, which is only 0.5mm more that the 13x5 Panasport which I understand were designed with the Elan in mind. My main concern is fouling control arm bolts as I intend to fit narrow spring perches.

I have some 5" - 4 spoke Revolutions. I believe they have about 3/16" more inboard clearance than either my 5" Minilites or 5" Panasports, but I don't know the offset. They have less clearance outboard at the fenders then the other 2 brands. I expect that will be the sticky point. Hopefully someone with 5.5's will respond.
Compare the 5.5 offset with the 5's and you should be able to figure it.
The 4 spoke Revolutions are very easy to clean.
Let us know how they fit if you get them.
