Size of original SLR wheels (not MBs)

[fergus]

Can anyone recall the size of the wheels fitted to the original SLR?

I'm currently running 7/22 & 6/21, but wondered whether 8/22 & 7/21 will fit/be suitable? Are these likely to rub on the arches? Are spacers required?

The rears are 8" wide and the fronts 6" or 7" on the original SLR.

Certainly I have no trouble running 7.0/21.0 and 8.0/22.0 (or 8.2/22.0) tyres on mine without spacers.

The original SLR 5-spoke wheels made by KN are 6.5" front, 8.5" rear. Same for both the original non-rolled rim design and the later rolled rims.

Stu.
