TR6 wheels will only fit the Marina/Ital 10cwt and 575 vans and pickups, as they have a 4.5" wheel stud spacing. Saloons, Coupes, Estates and 7cwt/440 Commercials have a 3.75" wheel stud spacing.

Cheers Chris thought so,going to put the centre wheel trims on for now,the ones that cover the centre of the wheel but don't know what wheel nuts to get as they will hold the cap and wheels on.
Cheers Gary

Triumph Dolomite 1500 / Spitfire mk IV ones are the same but chrome heads instead of the black plastic cover. Fitted on the Marina, same nut also used on 'mini but think it is NLA. Triumph part no is 21H6210 for the nut and 155753 for the washer Try Rimmers of Fittchets

Stainless as wont rust at all if chrome not well plated, the socket cuts into it and the nut will rust on the edges

David beat me to it. Stainless all the way. don't have to worry about them again. Chrome plated ones last a year before they show signs of flaking.
