spittymk3 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm after a nice set of rims to make my gt6 stand out, ideally I would really like some 13x7 deep dish minilites wheels but people say they don't fit....surely if a mini with spacers can roll on them a gt6 with spacers can too? I want to go for a low wide beefy look...anyone got any tips on what they done or got any wheels for sale? cheers! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I ran MGF wheels on my late spit with long driveshafts. If yours is rotoflex it may be a little different, but 205/50 tyres were fitted.However, with the camber changes, the tyres are not ideal, needs a higher profile and grip was better with 175/70 13 tyres. Rotoflex suspension will have less camber change and the 50 profile tyres may be OK. Still think a 55 profile would be better though, and 60 or greater on non-rotoflex.

spittymk3 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 MGF wheels? what size were they? is the bcd the same...95.25? Mine isn't rotoflex...I didn't realise there was as larger range of wheels to fit! got any pictures? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennygoodman Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hmmm, I've got 3 MGf's and 8 spare alloys, I might be digging the alloys out later this week and checking, if not the MGf spare is a full size wheel and they are never used as they are not alloys, I'll have a look to see if they fit as well.

CHRIS211083 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Get some hub Adapters from a guy in America. Here is his old ebay listing for the Adaptors.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triumph-Spitfire-GT6-TR7-TR8-Lotus-Alloy-Wheel-Adapters-/230620025009?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b20650b1&vxp=mtr&item=230620025009&nma=true&si=cquO9i3V5L7yHgSNLZL4mv71iYo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Go to his shop and send him a message. These allow you to fit up to 15"x7j some have even fitted 16"x7J but they need the tub massaging slightly. Here is mine.and the adaptors.Make the car look the way you want it too.Chris.

spittymk3 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 just a thought to add...13x7s wont need any arch work? deep dish minilites that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Mgf are indeed a direct fit with no issues. 6x15 mostly. Or is it 6 1/2?Do fit m12 studs though. And then you can use mgf/ford etc wheelnuts.If you are local you are welcome to try some. I am in Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spittymk3 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Those wheels really set the car off...its crazy how banging some nice wheels on your car completely transforms the look...what size are those on your gt6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spittymk3 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 they have a real American muscle look...work well on a small chassis brit car good effort ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byakk0 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 not sure of the width, they came with the car and the only specs on them I have is they are 13" rims, 195/60/13 tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a word of warning. Last I found sumitomo was the only company still the size I need, but with my luck they are not any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
