Jonathan, Del many thanks for the info so far.

I'll wait until I get the car home here next week and then get the rim sizes off of the wheels themselves. Once I have these I'll post back and get an opinion on the right tyre sizes to fit front and rear. Hopefully they are slightly larger at the back and I can get 235/245 on them and 205/215 on the front. If I am lucky and they are the right width for front and rear they will be sent off to be refinished as per Swanny's set lick

Failing that it's off to a wheel shop with recommended sizes and offsets from you guys and a wallet bashing session shall ensue biggrin

Please keep the feedback coming as it is all useful.
Sounds like a good plan. 205 to 225f, 225 to 255r is normal but as you said, rim widths first.

If you want to change to original TVR wheels,Dulfords have these but you will need to change to 5 stud.(these are possibly the only 4 stud in existance)

Oh yeah.

Erm, sorry spend but I think you're out of order with those deeply personal appearance-related comments and I'm appalled that you could even think of suggesting that Del would even consider dog walking whilst under the influence biggrin
