Esprit SE (1990) wheel specs...

[ddevil]

Hello,

I don't know, how it names in english... I just need to know detailed information about Esprit SE (year 1990) wheel dimensions. As example: Toyota Supra wheels are 7.5x16" 4x114.3mm. 60.1mm center.

Can anyone help me? Thanx.

some info:

WHEELS AND TYRES

Wheels: Lotus-styled alloy wheels

Front: 7J x 15ins

Rear: 8.5J x 16ins

Front tyres: Goodyear Eagle 215/50 ZR 15

Rear tyres: Goodyear Eagle 245/50 ZR 16

Spare tyre: 175/70 R 14

And what is the center hole size and a length between bolts/studs holes?

Wheel radius and tyre size is not so important, because i want to by Esprit witout wheels and looking for aftermarket production.

P.S. Maybe someone knows which other car wheels fits on Esprit SE? Just like Toyota Supra MKII wheels fits on Lotus Excel...

you're right - sorry I should have said - 'such a large negative offset - like a front wheel drive car'. The rotors on the Lincoln/Jag/Volvo are pushed out toward the outside of corners - further than the Esprit.

finding a set that will just bolt on is like rocking horse poo. you need hub adapters etc...

You're gonna hate this answer, but the other wheels that fit on the esprit are Ford Taurus.... I know because I have one of each.... Finding new wheels for the Esprit is a nightmare.... Good luck!

Actually I am thinking of upping the size of the rears on mine as with the 245/45 17 tyres I am getting wheel spin when I plant the throttle in first and second in the dry, I think I need a bit more rubber contact........................
