Title: Rims
Post by: 1967Spitfire on March 31, 2021, 06:20:47 AM
What rims and tires will fit a 1967 Triumph Spitfire, four lugs? I've read that Miata and some Toyota rims will work. Does anyone know?

A 4-bolt pattern.
3 ¾" (95.25mm) between centers

Most on BV8 modify their rides, but.........

If you are staying stock on your bolt pattern

The only widely available rims to fit secondhand are from a MGF/TF, the wheel offset is 25/28mm. Do not be put off from buying from the UK as shipping is only $150 for DHL & $170 for UPS.
