TRad Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 HiBit of a long shot, but does anyone have above sized wheels to fit a tr7? I'm hoping someone might let me just try and put a paionus theirs on my tr7 as i want to check if any fouling on arches before I potentially buy a set. Pcd is 95.25mm. I live on bucks area.Any help or advice gratefully recd!Cheers Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 You could use a standard steel rim without a tyre to take some measurements.And with the dimensions, the better tyre manufacturers supply, should give a decent indication if it fits or not.Just bear in mind that the tyres dimensions are much more critical then the wheels.

TRad Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks beans. I was going to fit 185/70r13s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'll check but I don't think 185s will go on a 7" wide rim - I wouldn't advise buying them, stick with 6" and fit quality tyres ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 For 185/70R13 stick to 5,5-6"rims, as Martin already said 7'is to wide.Banded 6" TR7 steel wheels with Yokohama 185/70R13 tyres (so widened by 0.5") 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRad Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Which yokohamas model do you recommend in this size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Only available Yokohama tyre in this size is the Yokohama A021-R which I use on the DHC.They are fairly grippy so don't last long and are not cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRad Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Thanks beans. I use the car for Tarmac events predominantly and they need to be road legal, so are the yoks best option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Don't know about best option.They certainly are road legal and pretty good, especially on tarmac.That's my opinion and based my driving style with the DHC.According to the DT website the Yokohama A021-R tyre is a road legal list 1B tyre, ideal for track days, circuit racing, special stages or road rallies.It is designed as a wet weather/intermediate tyre with a softer compound and an increased tread depth for maximum grip and wet weather performance.It is an ideal all round performer [ ... ]Don't expexct more than 6000 miles from them ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon_herit Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Slightly related i guess, but I've got 205/60/13 Silverstone FTZ Sport Type RR tyres on my 1976 TR7V8 race car which are road legal 'slicks'. Only done 1 hill climb so far and seemed very grippy!When I was looking around I was told that the Toyo and Yokohama versions aren't as good after lots of heat/cool cycles, which are more prevalent with sprints and hill climbs.Cheers Paul,1976 TR7 FHC (ACG 3115)1977 TR7V8 3.9 FHC rally car (ACG 35005)1980 TR7V8 3.5 DHCwww.triumph-cars.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRad Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks for the advice. Have you found any problems with fouling on wheelarches with these Tyres and what size wheels are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
