Hi Tim,

Unfortunately there isn't a 'standard' rover rim width... 2 widths that I know of on the 200's....6J & 5.5J ET45.

My 7 spoke rims - same as these (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-25-2...item460fad8376) are 5.5J x ET45 with 185/55 R15. These were the OEM size for the 216 Se? that I scrapped to build mine. These passed OK with my 2005 bodywork, but there is not much room for error. If I'd have fitted 6J with 195/50, then probably would have failed.

The steel spare (long since sold) was the same size also.....so perhaps there may be a set of steels around somewhere??

Rich
