The lugs on a TR7 and TR8 are larger, 7/16 as opposed to the 3/8 for a Spit.
You can change these lugs fairly easy if you desire, or use the ones you
have.  That is not the largest problem though.  Spitfire Wheels are lug
centric, meaning the conical heads on the lugs center the wheel and hold it
there.  TR7/TR8 wheels are hub centric meaning, the center of the wheel sits
on a centering ring to hold it inplace.  You can machine the tr7/tr8 wheels
to be lug centric.
