spider alloys for sale!!
Discussion
I'm sure the Tuscan fronts are 8.5", had mine off recently and the size is cast into the hub. Could have sworn it said 8.5".
Difference between fronts and rears are the spacers cast into the hub, rears have bigger spacers. Got Tuscan rears on mine with 255x35 SO2's, no arch rubbing whatsoever. Believe you also have to grind down the end of the driveshaft if you use fronts all round.

You might be right about the widths (didn't think so - but I'm not 100% sure). The spacers are different from what I was told, though... and I've definitely got Tuscan fronts all round, and fitting them was simply adding a couple of bump-stops.
With regards to 18" Spiders, I was advised at TVR Power that I needed Tuscan Rears all round, which was the opposite to what I was expecting.
Trade price is 62 quid, yet charge 140 for each rim, total price inc fitting was 1500.
Is there anywhere that you know of that I can get a new set fitted cheaper in the Midlands area ??
Also to see what else was available went to Wheel Mania in Leicester who said they have a couple of wheels which would fit, both 19"
I don't know how to add photos into the text otherwise would add the pictures to get some opinions - Anyone help ?

this is a bit of a mine feild.. My rears 18" spiders rub on the arches when you get a large compression in the suspension such as road undulations or long corners with two lardy people are in the car.

Central TVR will do you a 2nd hand set. I was quoted 80 quid a wheel (+ about 540 for new Toyo's + fitting). Should be much cheaper than new though.
