Mad Zero Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) I'm thinking of fitting aftermarket alloys (Superlites probably) to a TR7 - what size/offset/PCD do I need if I want to use the original 185/70x13 tyres on them? The car has standard sized brake rotors. Cheers, Buzz. Edited April 18, 2007 by Mad Zero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie-a Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Ok I now have a new set of wheels from e-bay new in box set of four 6x15 MGTF the last type of wheel to go on the mgtf. Revolution have stopped making the classic five spoke in grey I purchased these wheels because when I put my 7x13 with 205 tyres on my car they rubbed. So what tyres should I put on these wheels so they do not rub... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beans Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Standard wheels are 5.5j x 13 with an ET of 25mm and a PCD off 95.25mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

birminghamtr7 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 did you get sorted with tr then mad zero when can we see pics or are you still in planning stage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Zero Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 did you get sorted with tr then mad zero when can we see pics or are you still in planning stageI'm pretty much (99.9%) sorted with a really cracking TR but will wait until it's actually in my workshop before I do the showing off bit ...just in case! I'm putting together a little website too so there'll be plenty to look at. BTW I'm enjoying the Triumph scene a lot more than I did the Lotus scene - much more friendly!

dulux72 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 That is my thoughts But I was recommended 205 x 50 x 15 all round Should be fine but the wider track will make the steering heavier. Not that its light to start with lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
