Discussion
Yes, lots. Well, a few.
Not me, but go to Sideways or Club Triumph for some examples.

In case it's of any use to you, from kit car stuff I messed with ....
I'm pretty sure that the PCD on the Morris Marina and Triumph Dolomite is the same as the Herald, and the axle track is about right.
(In fact they had the same solid axle with different brackets welded on, with Spitfire series diffs. It still says STANPART on the diff casing....
So if you can find one of those it's about the right size and no messing about with odd wheels.
Also if you're going for a more powerful engine, the Dolly Sprint axle is the same except it has the Triumph Saloon diff, 3.45 good for about 200 horses, and STILL has
the right PCD.....but obviously even rarer.....
If you don't mind different wheels or a cross drilled spare, I think also the Ford Capri/Escort axles are also about the right size, and you can get the Atlas diff in those,
not sure if it's too big for the Herald though....
Source - Marlin kit cars - went from all Herald/Vitesse to Marina, but also had a 'hybrid' Triumph front, Marina rear axle, and some owners fitted Dolly Sprint
and Capri, one with Rover V8 and 3.0 Capri axle.....all in the same overall body width....

Can confirm my Herald Convertible came with Dolomite Sprint wheels on it from the seller who restored it...(though I swapped them back as the steering / turning circle was a pain) I'm pretty sure that the PCD on the Morris Marina and Triumph Dolomite is the same as the Herald, and the axle track is about right.
