Paul,
Check this website for sizes, etc. http://www.triumphspitfire.com/tirerec.html
I've seen 15" on a Mantula but don't know what the
differences are. I'd really like to get this figured out so that others
can benefit. Thered is only one place I can get the 195/70HR13 tires and
who knows how long that will last.
I'll do some more searching.

I'd like some input too. I've decided to go to a larger wheel myself and
know that a 14" is doable but would like to go up to 15" as well if
possible. The only problem I can envision is the wider wheel fouling during
full steering lock. I've been putting it off for months because I can't
decide what wheel design I want. Did you come up with anything interesting
with four bolt holes?
Dave Barton, did you make it to Ancaster last Sunday? It was so busy, it was
hard finding anybody but I didn't see any TVRs there.
Mike Denham, thanks for the T-shirt. It arrived yesterday.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] 15" wheels
Hi all,
Has anyone put 15" wheels/tires on their pre-1972 Marcos?? I currently have
the original 13" wheels with 195/70HR13 tires. I wondering if 15" wheels
with 225/50HR15 tires would have enough clearance. 225/50HR15 tires have
the same circumference as my current tires so ride-height would remain the
same. Pretty sure 15s' would fit in the rear wheel wells but I'm concerned
about the front steering clearance.
Any help??
