Hi Tim, You might check out http://www.triumphspitfire.com which has good information about aftermarket wheels and complete wheel specs. The pattern is 3.75"x4 lugs. TR7 wheels are very similar, but not quite identical in that the TR7 wheel is centered by the lugs and the Spit wheels are centered on the hub. While the TR7 wheels will fit, a recent article in Spitfire/GT6 recommends replacing the smaller 3/8" lugs with 7/16" TR7 sized lugs. The plastic hub covers have to be modified also. TR7 wheels are 5.5" wide vs. the 4.5" to 5.0" widths of the Spitfire. Aside from the early Lotus, the Formula Fords of the 70's used that lug pattern, but the offset on FF open wheel racers probably won't clear the wheel wells.
Good luck Tom Burke 80 Spit In a message dated 7/30/2002 6:25:48 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Hi all, > My next question, is what is the stud patern for our cars, and does it > match with > any other (perhaps modern cars). > Saw a nice set of Alloys on a Peugot 205 the other day that had a very > similar > design as my '75 spit. > Cheers > Tim /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
