14" steel wheels for those with Ital/Marina Running gea

I've found the wheels im going to run Emilia on, they are 14" dia, with a 3.75" PCD, 5.5J wide. They are from a Montego. Rear wheels have no clearance issues at all. Front wheels are a bit close, Im going to run with a 3mm spacer and 175 section tyres. From what I've seen I wouldnt advise running tyres more than 185 wide on the front!

I assume therefore that alloys from Montegos would work fine too

Yep. And Maestro wheels also fit.

I'm toying with the idea of going to 14" Montego or Maestro wheels on teh Triumph when (if?) it's back on the road as it seems harder and harder to get decent 13" rubber in sensible profiles.
