I have a gorgeous 1988 GL XT 1.8 that needs some new shoes. What is the bolt pattern and offset(s) I should be shopping for?

thanks

 

That car has a 4-140mm bolt pattern. There's not too many wheels for it. I'm sure that there's even less brake rotors.

 

thanks

anyone know the right offsets?

 

It depends on how you want it to look. Your OE offset is 55mm. If you want it closer to the fender, then you would prolly want somwhere between 42-45mm. you can use the tire size to make up any difference too.
205/40r17 would probably fit best... it all depends on your preference.
