AGC Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi allJust had my old tyres stripped off my steel wheels ready for blasting and powder-coating and have noticed that 2 wheels are 13 3.5's and 2 wheels are 13 4.5's!!.... Will these be ok if I fit the 4.5 pair to rear and 3.5 pair to front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 If you are going to the expense of blasting and powdercoating I would find 2 wheels to make up a proper set of 4. Ideally 4.5J What car? That will point you to which are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 They should be easy enough to come by, fitted to heralds as well (though watch the slots are the same size)best put a wanted note out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been able to get them from local tyre fitter. They are Michelin EB3's. Ive been quoted anything from £50-65 fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in North America, the 1970 model year Mk3 got the 4.5" "solid" wheels (as per GT6 or most Herald Estates). Of course, lots of folks seem to like to fit MkIV or 1500 wheels, which were usually 4.5" as well, save for the last cars, which had 5.0" wheels.
