No.

4x95.25 PCD. If it ain't that, it won't fit, and it's too far from anything else to wobble bolt.

Small Triumph (not MG- midget etc doesn't fit) is the most common in that size, or MGF if you want modern wheels (which generally look a bit pants). There are a few others (including some Formula Ford stuff) but not many.

Formula Ford stuff harks back to Lotus using Triumph Herald front uprights for the 7 and single seaters during the '60s.

MX5 is 4x100mm btw. :ugeek:

Indeed ;) Still fancy a set of the formula ford Wellers someday, 6" wide ones ideally.

Shame the Marina isn't 4x100 as there's a lot more choice- always thought they'd suit ATS Classics- original fit on Opel Mantas and the wheel of choice for the watercooled VW lscene a few years back...

Assuming it's a heavyweight there's a lot more choice. MGB/ Big Triumph (Stag/ TR6/ 2000 & 2500 Saloon etc)/ Scimitar are the main suspects from the British side (Chris has a set of TR6 steels on his Ital pick up that look great), but there's also loads of older Japanese stuff that does. 4x114.3 in new money, 4.5" in old ;)

If the Hyundai wheels have a PCD of 4.5" (114.3mm) and four studs, then they will be fine for 10 cwt/57commercials but not 3.75" (95.25mm) on the 7 cwt/440 versions as they use the saloon wheels etc.

Quite a long list of 4x114.3 here - Datsun/Nissan, Mitsubishi/Volvo, Hyundai/Kia, Daewoo/Chevrolet, SAAB.

Interesting that the Lotus Elise S1 (1996-2001) had 4x95.25 with offset of 10 - sounds just about perfect. ;)
