Do we know what the problem is? I don't see a Superlite wheel on their
website that matches the stock TR6 wheel (15" x 5.5") - could that be the
reason that they don't claim to have a wheel that's a direct replacement?
The specifications for the 6" and 7" width 15" wheels from the Superlite web
page (http://www.superlite.demon.co.uk/spec.htm) are:
15 x 6 WHEEL
===========
OFFSET RANGE: +20 to +35
BACK SPACE: 107mm (3.9") -122mm (4.8")
BOLT CIRCLE RANGE: 95mm (3 3/4") - 139.7mm (5 1/2")
15 x 7 WHEEL
===========
OFFSET RANGE: +10 to +30
BACK SPACE: 110mm (4.4") -130mm (5.1")
BOLT CIRCLE RANGE: 95mm (3 3/4") - 139.7mm (5 1/2")
The four-bolt circle range includes the correct dimension for the TR6 and
the slight additional 10mm (.36") to 30mm (1.1") of positive offset (on the
7" wide wheel) appears (?) to be appropriate for a wheel that's 1.5" wider
than stock.
Of course, your figures may vary . . .
