What 17" wheels are a direct fit for a 75

Dallas · 7th June 2009, 19:08

Can you get direct fit 17" Alloy Wheels for a 1999 Rover 75, one's that are either originally Rover or after market ones, but with-out the use of spigot rings.

Would prefer a direct fit centre bore, am I correct is saying 56.1mm centre bore and a PCD of 5x100, offset 42-50 and thread size of m12x150mm.

I suppose the ride would be not sooooo smoooooth with 17's.

Serpents are in my opinion the ultimate wheel for the 75, stunning looking, and not as hard on the road as the 18" wheels.

Subaru and skoda are direct fit as well IIRC

Thanks guys!

I did see a set of the 17" 5 spoke brushed chrome one that I like, the ones that Rover only put on a few of their 75's and ZT's. They have 5 wide flushed flat spokes with a further 5 thin individual spokes between the wide ones, if you know what I mean.

Hi Dallas

That sounds like the 17" Starspoke that were fitted to the Contemporary. Nice wheels but for the facelift, but should still fit a Mark 1.

These ones?

If so, there are some available on ebay at the moment:

£49.95 each wheel (no tyres) plus carriage.

Guy did have 9 available, down to his last 4 at the moment.

Oh, and as seen on Phil's new car (beautiful by the way Phil!)

There the ones Derek! thanks mate....

Will give the guy a email to ask a few questions regarding the fitments, do you think I would have any trouble with the fittment for the MK1?

How about bolts, would I need new bolts or could I use my existing ones?

Yes I also agree, Nice model Phil.....

Do you know! I never new that there are sooooo many 75 models and the facelift models also (wow) totally blown away here.....

Thanks,

They should fit straight on and the bolts should be the same unless anyone knows different?
