Steel Wheels to fit a Tamora

[Barry Ashcroft]

Anybody know what other cars wheels will fit on my Tamora?

I want to get mine powder coated and I need 4 wheels to keep the car mobile any ideas? or any body got any I can borrow.

Just to push in and out of the garage not to drive it !!!

Cheers

Barry

Your nearest dealer might have a spare set for hire.

you must know someone local who has a spare set for the track that would keep you going?

try something different RG do shadow chrome wheels for £94/wheel in exchange for your old ones!

Barry, phone Richard/Neil at Dulfords, I'm sure they will sort something out.

I called in there yesterday Richard had gone home early so I'll call Monday

The 4 stud wheels were Ford fitting (108PCD) if I remember correctly so maybe TVR changed to the Ford 5 stud pattern when they did? Only a guess but some cheap Granada wheels may fit?

Acording to Chris @ Dulfords it old Jag 5 stud (4 1/2"pcd) but because the TVR tyres are ultra low profile the Jag wheels wont fit under the arches

Ooh ... I was so close

(There always used to be plenty of TVR space saver wheels here and on eBay - may be an option?)

Tamoras use 114.5 5 stud pcd , same as most recent 5 stud jap fare including mitsubishi, howver i cant recal what the TVR center bore is (important as that locates the wheel in the vertical plain).
for info Mitsubish uses a 67.1mm center bore.
The other factor is offset which I dont have to hand for TVR but others (mitsubishi again) tend to use 35~40mm offset. The higher that number the closer the wheel tyre is to the chassis. the lower the number the more it nears the outer wheelarch.

The other option is to use somewhere like the wheel specialist, if there´s a franchise near you and get them done in a day.

Would they recondition the wheels on my MR2 in a day ?

The only problem you will have with most Jap steels is getting them over the calipers, of course you can just unbolt them and cable tie them to the wishbones temporarily.

Jap steels is the way to go..
