Wheel Stud PCD

Quick question, anyone have the Wheel Stud PCD of a Morgan+8 in their instant memory bank-- is it 5 on 5" like the Rovers etc? thanks

I Think it is 5x5" which isn't that common in the UK. By the way why do you ask? I Did some investigating for my +8 a little time ago as I was thinking of getting another set of wheels. What I couldn't work out was the offset and how that compares to the inset written on the existing wheels.

I have a client who races one & I may end up making a full floating hub rear end for it if he decides to go ahead with the work. Since Morgan specialist bits are somewhat expensive and not available in large numbers, along with the fact that we are on the other side of the planet, I am looking at using another more common rear axle assy with a large range of rear axle ratio options on which to base this, that way he can retain the original rear axle assy to retrofit should he decide to sell the car at a later date. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but as it gives the extra choices re ratios & traction aids plus eliminates pad knockoff and any concerns of runaway wheels due to broken axles etc its actually a big plus!

I usually have to sit down with a pair of verniers & check the wheel info against what I consider the offset and as I dont have the car here I cannot help much on this one, sorry. I do know that 5x5" is a very common stud spacing on many of the larger USA cars & some light trucks like bronco's etc.
All Nascar wheels are 5x5" also , but as they are steel & 15" dia that may not be of any help to you.

thanks for the info. cheers
