15" wheels

#1 Post by leesellars »

Hello friends

Just a thought has anyone fitted 15" wheels as in the works teams. What size tyres did you fit.

You won't get 15" TR6 wheels on a mk2 Lee.

but you can get other 15" wheels on. I run 195/60/15 tyres, which should be ok.

As far as I know there are two types of TR6 wheel — one that fits and one that doesn't.

Hi Lee, no the arches havn't been rolled, I must be lucky and got the right sort !
(you've seen them, the ones Bob bought at the Harrogate TR do, I got one of 'em !) Definately fits the back, cos I tried it before I replaced the 30 odd yr old Michelin X that was on the rim :D
