Common rear wheels?

the metro's are 14" or maybe 13" if memory serves me right you will struggle to get anything bigger than a 15" on a metro

On a slightly different theme... can you fit 14" on the front of the elise???

Metros are 13", BUT the Austin Maestro / Mostego used the same PCD (Obscure old Triupmh size), so 15" wheels are available that would fit the hubs if they are indeed the same as a Metro.

Also, MGF ones should fit?

S1 is 95.25 pcd which is fairly obscure?

Surely as long as they fit under the arches and over the brakes it doesn't really matter? MGF would deffo be worth a look.

Without the right PCD the holes on the wheels wont line up with the bolts though, so thats a problem if the PCD isnt right.

Sorry I was thinking about Offset.

Aye, Funnily enough it was in the back of my mind that the Metros use a 3.75" PCD, which is 95.25mm

MGF used Metro subframes, so I'm just assuming it's the same PCD. I know Maestros and TR7s are the same

S1 fronts should fit on the rears ok (recommended in the workshop manual for fitting winter tyres).

You won't get 14" wheels onto the front regardless of hub & pcd as there's only a fag paper between the wheel and the caliper as it is.

you might get 14" on the back with the rear brakes being smaller. Put a front wheel on the back and gauge clearance to caliper & guess if a 14" will fit.....
