This here's FAQ material, if one ever materializes...
I have a TR4. It has (stock) 4" wide wheels. One is dented, another
(spare) is quite rusty.
I understand that TR6 wheels are 5.5" wide. Will they fit my car without
interfering with anything? If they do interfere, is there anything I can
do to make 'em fit?
How much should I expect to pay for a set (4) of used but serviceable TR6
wheels?
What size tires, on TR6 rims, will have the same rolling diameter as
165-15s? (in modern spec, please ;-))
Datsun 240/260/280zx wheels are rumoured to fit TR hubs if the center is
machined. Now, I don't want to do that to a steel wheel- what if I find a
Z car with a nice set of mags on it? (unlikely) Can a machine / wheel
shop bore out the center? Or will they just bolt on? (am I misled? I
know that Z drums will fit TR brakes if they're bored out)
I tried to look this stuff up on the VTR website but it was being ornery
and wouldn't return my calls.
