If the Griff is the same as the Chim, std dimensions are pcd 4 x 108, rear et35 front et25 IIRC

Tvr's 5 hub is 5x114.3 so still a non starter am afraid - offset would be wrong also, Spiders are 42mm at front and about 37mm at the rear (doing this from memory so maybe slightly out)... 15mm offset would stick out way too far.

112mm PCd was a Granada fitment, as used on Wedges.

if that is correct then these should fit as i have a set of speed eight wheels on my griff at the moment and they are for big engined wedges,bought from tvr car parts,
to measure the pcd do you just measure the hole centres ?

The issue is that the Cerb wheels have a larger wheel stud which sort of compensates for the slight differences in PCD. This means that they will fit onto the Wedge hub but the wheel nuts will not sit right as the recess is slightly offset. This means the wheel is not clamped correctly and there is a high risk of the nuts coming undone.

thanks for all the advice, i think i will give up on these as i cant take the chance for that amount of money!
(note to self) must stop buying bloody wheels!!
6 sets is probably enough!
