Wheel Sizes for Griff 500

[Midnight Blue]

I''m going to buy a spare set of wheels for my Griff 500 to use on track days. If I remember they''re 7x15 AND 7.5x16 rims. Does anybody know the PCD of the stud pattern, the front and rear offset? Also the correct diameter for the centre hole would be handy. Presumably the 7-spoke 500 wheels are the same for both the Griff and the Chimera. I''d like to assume that they''re the same as the Ford source, but with a TVR that''s tempting fate!

Offset is cast into inside of spokes, if I recall properly its 35mm front and 25mm rear. I will check tonight, I have loose wheels in my garage. PCD is 108mm, as per Ford. Don't know about hole dia, again I will measure for you tonight.

Thanks for your help Phil, look forward to hearing from you tomorrow.

Fronts are marked ET25 7Jx15H2 Rears are marked ET35 7Jx16H2 Centre hole in 64mm dia. PCD is 108mm. Griff and Chim 500 wheels are identical. Good luck! Edited by philshort on Wednesday 29th August 23:09

Thanks Phil, it's time to go shopping!

On my 99 Griffith rears were 7.5 J not 7 J perhaps Phil mis-read or mis-typed but just a point. Rich...

Oooops!! Yes, rears are 7.5J. Typed in a bit of a rush on the way to bed, sorry 'bout that. I hope Matt doesn't end up with some skinny rears! Edited by philshort on Thursday 30th August 20:03

Cheers Phil! I've been looking for some, but I can't find any that: a) look OK b) available in the right size c) don't cost a mint........ Anyone out there with a spare set of 500 rims? Will pay cash and collect!

Midnight I have an immaculate pair of Griff 500 front wheels with good tyres for sale - £190 for the pair if you are interested. At least you would be half way there! Alex Edited by AlexG on Friday 31st August 08:43
