15" wheels with 95.25mm / 3.75" PCD ?
CompoSimmonite - 16/1/14 at 12:52 AM

I've just bought a Marlin Roadster based on 1800 Marina mechanicals. Currently it has 13" wide alloys whereas I prefer 15" skinny steels with something like 155 or 165 tyres
Anyone know of a standard fitment 15" wheel that will fit 95.25mm / 3.75" PCD ?
I know MGF steel spares will fit, as do Montego / Maestro, but they are 14".

Thanks.

Nope, think MGF alloys are your only real choice.
Of course, it is possible to fit 15" wires, not exactly cheap though.

Thanks.

That is sort of the conclusion I'd come to as couldn't think of any car with such a small PCD and 15" wheels. Even wires aren't as common in that size than 13" or 14".
I suppose another alternative is fit 10 cwt Marina van rear axle and matching front hubs so their 114.3mm / 4.5" PCD will give a better chance of finding something suitable.

the smaller cars may have been 14" only but the 420 had 15" as standard I think?

MG MGF 4x95.25
Rover MGF 4 x 95.25
Rover 100 4 x 95.25
Rover 114 4 x 95.25
Rover 214 4 x 95.25
Rover 220 4 x 95.25
Rover 416 4 x 95.25
Rover 420 4 x 95.25
Rover Maestro 4 x 95.25
Rover Montego 4 x 95.25
Rover T.Acclaim 4 x 95.25
Rover TR 7 4 x 95.25

or classic Weller steels - they'll make them in whatever size you want?

I think that list of pcds is wrong. Actually, I know it is (as a triumph owner which shares the pcd)
Rover metro/100 is correct, not Austin metro. Certainly r2/4/6/800 are different.
The other option is to get a set of MGF PCD adapters from mike satur.

which ones are wrong? I didn't say 200/400/600/800 as strangely they have different PCD to the 14, 16, 20 versions. Metro isn't 95.25 but 100 is.

I already deleted TR6 from this list because I'm sure they fit a Scimitar GTE (4.5" but I checked the rest against this list on a Rover site:

Early MGF minilite style will be cheapest and will just take a 175 tyre but the offset will have them proud at the front. BMW mini steel wheels are 4x100 PCD with standard 175-65-15 tyres & hub adaptors will work best.

cliftyhanger - 16/1/14 at 04:08 PM

The only ones that fit
Rover metro (I am pretty certain all) and 110 etc. Not the early Austin metro which are 4" from memory.
Montego/maestro
MGF and TF (but not the original ancient tf)
Spitfire/herald/gt6/vitesse/tr7
Marina


Acclaim is 4x100, and I think 214/414 etc etc. too. I suspect somebody was lazy when compiling that list.

Hello,
new member here from the USA.
I've been a Spitfire/GT6 enthusiast since 1968, and am now building a Spitfire 'funny car'.
Think of it as a silhouette version, I'll keep the body, and substitute all the rest.
Anyway, adaptors from the 3.75"/92.25mm PCD to 100mm are very common here, and inexpensive.
This would allow you to easily run any 100mm PCD FWD wheel, ie Honda 15", etc.

For example:

NFI, just offering alternatives.

TR7 is definately the same pcd as MGF.

Cant remember the width of the TR7 steels though.

They look just like what we sell, only for a bit less
We can make the adaptors up to any PCD you like, and start from 17mm thickness. Drop me a U2U if you're interested.
