16 inch spiders

[TJC46]

Hi guys i would like to fit 16 inch spiders to my chim. My question is changing the wheel hubs and discs etc.Various companys can supply modified hubs etc. i just wondered if any other tvr hubs could be used as a straight swap i.e tuscan or tamora hubs. or what about cerb hubs, any advice etc much appreciated, thanks Tom.

No other hubs will do the job, converted hubs are the answer....

The first 10 factory upgrades used new hubs from Ford Parts.. I think its a Jeep or Bronco part?

Cerb uses Jeep hubs...

I'd love to know if a standard hub exists to fit Spiders tho!

You could get an engineering firm or fabricator to convert your current hubs ?
Just requires drilling the new holes for the studs and welding up the old ones.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the rear offset different too. This would work for aftermarket alloys but Spiders require the rear hubs to be engineered further inboard

Not on the hubs Bob, the TVR re-manufacturing placed a new piece behind the hub face and redrilled the original then longer studs. Slight offset change with spiders, but widths and available wheels had TVR offsets changing +/-5mm anyway at various times IIRC.

Not sure about the SportMotive conversion as ISTR Ant mentioning they used all fronts ala Cerb or something like that?
