Alloy wheel help!!! (Will they fit???)

Post Sun Jun 19, 2005 5:17 pm

At my local scrappy yesterday,saw a fire damaged Reliant Scimtar GTE (3.0v6 essex engined)...

This had Wolfrace slot mags on it in a 4 stud pattern. the wheels were 14"

what i'd like to know is whether they would fit my e30 touring?

my car is 4x100, does the Reliant Scimtar have the same stud pattern???

im not a 100% sure either but i believe there ford/peugeot/citroen/renault fitment, so they wont fit as the e30 as it has a larger stud pattern

The front suspension's Triumph Herald/Spitfire. I think you'll find the hubs came fron the same source. I'm pretty certain the PCD will be Imperial, not Metric.

Reckon if its triumph it may fit as honda rims fit on BM's 4 stud and honda/triumph were in bed together at one point.

if i am wrong come to Bahrain and hit me!!!!

Big Thank You to Jesus325itouring

rog was good enough to go and measure the herald hubs to see what the pcd is

unfortuntley it appears to be 96mm instead of the 100mm i need (measured from diagonal studs)

I'll go to the scrappy next weekend and measure them but I think this dream is dead

thanks for your help everyone (esp Rog!!!)
