I jumped the gun a little bit and bought a TR2 wheel (4" wide, riveted) for
the purpose of mounting a high-pressure "donut" spare (sourced from a
minivan) for my TR6, in order to be able to have the spare tire cover flush
with the rest of the trunk.
What I didn't find out in advance:
Is the edge of the TR2 wheel the right shape to support a tubeless tire? I
recall that older (T-series) MG wheels needed a tube even with tubeless tires.
Assuming it's the right shape, do the rivets need to be sealed with
anything to support the high pressure of a donut spare? Anybody been
there, done this?
