The issue of wheel rim sizes has come up many times, there is another on the board just below this

The TR7 is an odd ball, 95.25mm or 3 and 3/4 inch

There are a few 13" rims off herald, Spitfire etc as this was a Triumph small car size but virtually nothing else fits.

MGF 15" wheels fit nicely

Try this site and look at all with a PCD of 95.25mm

Your wheel man is wrong.

The PCD is 95.25mm and is the reason why so many styles of the MGF/MGTF wheels are used.

The wheel OFFSET is 25mm.

A smaller offset than the original 25mm will PUSH the wheel away from the suspension and further OUTWARDS.

A larger offset than the original 25mm will PULL the wheel towards the suspension and further INWARDS.

I think this company can make wheels to fit our size PCD and different size offsets.

Also I believe the wheels are hub centric meaning they fit on a ring extrusion on the drums/rotors which help support the stresses and don't rely soley on the lugs (lug centric). Would make me nervous to use non hub centric wheels and take away that margin of safety.

I have a set of MGF rims. On the back they are just slightly too tight on the centre but are OK with a 5mm spacer. On the front I can't remember because I have a 10mm spacer so the tyres clear the non-standard stuts but logically it ought to be a good fit.

As for seats, you will be hard pressed to find better seats that will fit. It also has been discussed several times & any alternative will require a bit of modification because he TR7 seats are very low. More info here http://www.forum.triumphtr7.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6383

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.
