Wheels

142tim · Jan 14th, 2015, 15:23

Hi all, has anyone got any cheap 5.5j x 15" wheels to fit a 1968 142, I have heared that some p1800 may be the same, alloy or steel anything considered. I am in North Yorkshire

Thanks
Tim

If intending to use 1800 wheels, make sure that they are from a later one that has rear disc brakes (1800E / ES), as these share the same wheel stud pattern as your 142 (5 x 108mm / 4 1/4"). The earlier versions with rear drum brakes used a different stud pattern that is also the same as Amazons (5 x 114.3mm / 4 1/2") & thus won't fit your car.
