Vixen / 3000M Slave Wheels

[Devon Flyer]

Going start on the restoration of my 3000M, I need a set of 4 slave wheels and tyres. What will fit?

[Devon Flyer]

True, but I am thinking of all the dirt / paint that would go on them also they would be used when I get to sorting the Vixen S3.
Its been suggested that TR5 steel wheels would fit?

I think the space savers off an old Volvo V40 or S40 will fit. You can usually pick them up cheep on eBay, often unused like this one :

Hubs are from Triumph. 114.3mm PCD x 4 stud

Take your pick

Not all Triumphs have the same PCD. My 1976 Toledo is 4 x 95.25mm (3.75" in old money).

I think the size you suggest is from the bigger cars like the Stag.

I've got 3 (not quite sure why 3) Reliant Scimitar composite wheels which are 114.3/4.5" 4 stud sat in my garage which are free to collector if they are of any use. They have rotten tyres on them which might hold air but at least 2 have damaged valves. They came as slaves with my M but are now in my way! I'm located in Solihull about 10 mins from the NEC.

Cheers.

Note: they are a completely different rolling radius (smaller) so are no good as a space saver despite previous posts

TR3 wheels ARE a good space saver.

Composite as in aluminium centres & chrome steel rims rather than GRP or derivatives…

I do have carbon composite wheels (DYMAG) on one of my motorbikes which to my eyes are one of the trickest bolt ons out there!

Chimaera and Griffith have different size front and rear wheels but only one space saver 🤔
And its a different rolling radius to either !
