I want to use my Marlin for gentle green laning. Suspension can easily be raised as it's lowered from the donor Marina settings anyway so removal of the lowering blocks and turning up the torsion bars sorts that.
Wheels on the other hand can be a problem due to the 3.75" PCD however that is the same as the MGF so adapters to 4 x 100mm are available.
So can anyone suggest a 15" wheel with 100mm PCD that is narrow enough to take something like 155 or 165 profile tyre ?
Cheers.
Paul H

I think that vauxhall are 4x100 pcd if that's of any use to you.
Just had look on eBay and they are 185 or 195's. only thing small enough are space savers which isn't the best solution.

I'll probably have to look at 14" as well because that will give far better choice. So revised question is the same as before but 14"  |

MGF and TF have a 5.5J x 14 steel spare wheel with 175/65 R14 tyre, but I guess you could put something like a 155R14 M+S tyre on them.

Mini One steel wheels are I think a 5.5" width. I have a brand new set of black ones if you're interested.

Sounds to me like you want to be looking for space savers  |

MX5 ones are 5.5x14's and not the easiest to source. Any idea what offset you're going to be looking for?

Later K11 Micras had a 14" steel, 5 or 5.5 and nice high offset to cope with the spacers.

Toyota IQ steels are 15x5j, ET45 and 4x100. Not many kicking about second hand though, maybe in salvage yards. Ebay linkEdit... I'm half tempted to get a set for the MX5, I think 155s will be much more fun than 195s |
