dolomite sprint wheels

[rayhiscocks]

hi. has anyone fitted dolomite sprint wheels to a roadster with marina front suspension? the problem I have is the wheel touches the calliper. I have seen marlins with these wheels on and they look very good.

Re: dolomite sprint wheels

The problem is the wheel offset isn't correct.

Can you fit spacers to achieve clearance?

Have a look in the Gallery section:

Home
- Marlin History
-Galleries
- Roadsters

Its a bit tedious to work your way through but I reckon there are at least 5 Roadsters with Sprint wheels in the first 20 pages!

Re: dolomite sprint wheels

I bought a set of 5 Dolomite Sprint polished alloy wheels after being told by their previous owner, a Marlin owner that they would fit. I found the same problem, the inside of the wheel rubbed on the caliper, my Roadster is Triumph Herald based. I wonder if some Roadsters have been fitted with different calipers. My car was fitted, when bought 3 years ago, with Ford Minilite wheels with adaptor plates to change the PCD. When I looked into the offset, Herald offset 20mm, Sprint offset 35mm I did not proceed any further as spacers plus new wheel nuts would be needed. A picture of my car is on the Marlin Gallery, my red Roadster is around No 143, on show at Exeter Kit Car Show last year. David.

Re: dolomite sprint wheels

Triumph/Hybrid roadsters could have different disc diameters and hence caliper position, depending on the donor.
