The bolt pattern etc are the same for TR2 through TR6. The only
difference was increasing rim width as the years progressed. If the
earlier poster finds the info for his TR6, then you have it for the TR4
as well.

Are you talking about the Minilite lookalikes both companies sell? If
so, then Moss's are 5.5" and TRF's Panasports are 6", regardless of how
many cylinders you have.
If OTOH you mean the replacement wire wheels, then they offer them in
sizes to match the originals, ranging from 4" for the TR2/3 up to 5.5"
for the TR6.
Ultra-wide wheels can cause clearance problems at full lock on some of the
early models, but it's solved by adjusting the steering stops. You just
won't be able to turn as sharp as you used to...
