jackb_ms Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi I have an option on collecting 4 tires and steel rims which use to belong to a Rover 25. Does someone knows if they would fit a Caterham? Cheers Jack PS: I want to have my alloys refurbished this is why I need a spare set. Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted March 6, 2009 Area Representative Share Posted March 6, 2009 Jack It's all down to PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) and stud pattern. If its for MLE then you need a pcd of 4.25" or 108mm. This is often refered to as Ford fitting, we know it as de Dion fit. As you know they are 4 stud.

Willie. Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Only way to be sure is to measure/test fit. Even if PCD is right, central hole could be wrong diameter, or offset could be out. What Caterham, De Dion or Live Axle? I think they'll be 4x100 PCD, and likely a silly offset. May fit Live Axle, but check offset and mounting centre diameter (Hole in the middle). For De Dion, go for a set of 4stud wheels from a Peugeot. I've a set of 305 rims that fit great (The offset is spot on too). Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackb_ms Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yes it is for MLE Thanks you Gentlemen. I will look for a different set! Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted March 6, 2009 Area Representative Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Jack I suggest you put in a "Wanted". It has worked for me on a couple of occasions. When I got the 15" wheels for 524, they were offered to me because I posted second in line to a For Sale. Democratic dissent is not disloyalty, it is a positive civic duty.

Willie. Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I feel like the odd one out here...I want a 21 now too 😬 Your other option is to go for a set of Wellers, which are a steel racing wheel, and available in all sorts of widths for Ford 4 x 108mm PCD. I've also a set of those in 13x7 which fit lovely (On a De Dion 7). They come up every now and again on eBay, look way better than standard steels and are a decent wheel to keep for trackday spares etc. Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaseb Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Jack, I've plenty of spare wheels and tyres 3 or 4 doors up from you if you want a local lend?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 😬 That's cool How many doors? Cheers Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaseb Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm at number 89 Would you prefer minilites or prisoners... Could probably rustle up a set of HPC wheels too if push came to shove! YHM Edited by - JaseB on 7 Mar 2009 18:56:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
