Thanks Keith!
: Early Mk1 Lotus 7.
: Taken from Lotus 7 website.
: "WHEELS & TYRES:
: Usually 15" x 4" diameter lightweight bolt-on steel rims with 520 x 15 (crossply) tyres:
:
Early cars used wheels manufactured by Rubery Owen (as used on the
Turner sports car) with BMC stud centres (PCD) to suit both axles.
Later, circa 1960, TR3 wheels were used with special adaptor plate at
rear for Standard Triumph stud centres (PCD) all round. Lotus Super
Seven/Lotus "C" were specified with 15" (x 4" x 48 spoke as on Climax
engined Elite) knock-on wire wheels which were also available at extra
cost on all cars. Provision for mounting spare wheel on rear panel.
Spare wheel optional extra on home market cars."

: I think
also early Austin Cambridge pre-Farina type also ran 4 stud x 15" rims
but not sure if the PCD is the same. Rare in USA to find though.
