Hermann,
The PCD for Spitfire wheels is 3.75 inches. That is 95.25mm, so a wheel
with 95mm hole spacing is probably close enough to fit. 100mm definitely
will not fit!
The size is not very common, which is why you won't find new wheels for sale
today in this size from most shops. Other than the Spitfire, there were a
few other cars with the same wheel size, mostly other Herald derivatives,
and cars that borrowed Herald parts. These include:
Triumph: Herald, Vitesse, Spitfire, GT6, TR7, Dolomite
Lotus: Elan (the '60s version, not the '90s), Europa, 7
Austin: Marina
I believe the MGF / MGTF also uses the same diameter wheels, so you could
get wheels from an MG dealership if there are any in Iceland (I have no idea
if MGs sell in Iceland!).
Failing that, specialist Triumph dealerships sell various wheels that will
fit - here is Rimmers' selection:
