Wrong. The Formula Fords had the same bolt pattern because
the early cars used Spitfire wheels. Probably because many
of the early FFs were built by Lotus. They now use centerlock
wheels.
Barry is correct, the Lotus Europa, Spit, GT6, etc...
were the only cars with the 3 3/4 x 4 pattern.

So called "English Ford" also had 3.75 bolt circle.
The US Formula Ford spec called for these wheels. I
have a set of steel 13 x 5.5 rims from FF that fit
nicely on a Spitfire. Except for the width, they look
exactly like the stock Spitfire Mk I and II wheels.
But mind the offset, I have fender flares on the
front.
