Robert, There a few (4) measurements that you need to consider. Use a ruler or
tape measure.
1. Measure the hole to hole distance. Eyeball the center of the holes and
record that dimension.
2. Measure the hole to hole distance across the center of the wheel. Eyeball
the centers.
3. Measure the diameter of the center hole that fits over the hub bearing.
4. Measure the offset. This would be the distance from the hub of the wheel to
the wheel inside rim diameter.
If these measurements are the same as your current wheels they should be
usable.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Subject: Space between lug holes. (gauge)
My local scrap yard has some 4 lug wheels, that I believe may fit my 78
spitfire, but what I'm wondering is, is there a tool to measure the space
between the holes, so I can see if these will fit before I purchase them,
anyone know what the tool is called, or what I'm talking about. Anybody
got one...???
Thanks.
Robert.
