as frankie says its nothing to do with the ofset. its the fact that anything less than a 15inch wheel wont clear the bottom of the rear uprights. you can possibly get 14's on if you use rose joints instead of bushes but its still a squeeze

You can use 14"s but you have to mod the rear uprights slightly when making them the lower section needs to be shortened by 5mm effectively raising the lower wisbone 5mm giving the necessary clearance

This problem had not occurred to me mainly because I'm going to use MX-5 running gear and intend to use the MX-5 upright complete and just fabricate my own 'bones to suit. I should then be able to use stock 14" wheels
