Wheel project advice required.
Discussion
Patience required here from all the TVR techy types as I am still on the TVR learning curve.
The planned wheel upgrade will be a significant purchase for me, and just don’t want to end up with an expensive mistake!
Will the change to 5 studs etc. significantly devalue the car if I ever had to sell?
I am saving hard for 2012 plans part a and b.
a) Purchase 5 stud hubs and new bearing sets.
What is the standard PCD dimension on these?
If more than one supplier exists, does the PCD differ?
Best source?
Did the Granada ever have 5 studs as an option?
b) Purchase/fit 16” fronts 17” rears.
Does a right first time width/ET combination exist for 16” fronts 17” rears if standard brakes are retained?
If there is more than one, what is the combination that gives the greatest width to fit in the standard arches?

I have 16" 17"
4x108 front ET (offset)25 Rear 33 but i have 35
front 7 or 7.5J 7.5 better for 225 tyres.
Rear 8j
tyres front 225/45/16
Rear 245/40/17
if you like Pro race 1.2 you can get the front wheels for £54 each(got mine from fleabay with the correct offset and J and then order the rears from Demon tweaks.
Tyres from Camskill Falken 452`s very good tyre for road use.
