Paul,

Yup, both the Spitfire and the TR7 share a 3.75" bolt circle.  I've been
running a set of the Western Wheel turbine style wheels on my '76 autocross
car with no problems for the past two years.. that is no problems from the
wheels.  :-)

If the wheels you are looking at use the "mag style" sleeved lugs you have
two options.   One is to harass our list adminstrator Mark Bradakis for a
set of 3/8"x24 mag lugs... or swap wheel studs for the TR7 7/16" studs.  If
the wheels use the standard mag sleeved size you can walk into most
autoparts stores and get the 7/16" wheel lug nugs fairly easily.

If the wheels use an acorn style lug you may be able to get away with using
the stock Spit lug nugs.


Cheers,

Jim

dozen lbc projects!
