Triumph Spitfire
The early Triumph Spitfire (1962-1971) came from the factory with 13x4.5 steel wheels featuring the distinctive 4x95.25mm bolt pattern that Triumph used across many of their sports cars. These were basic stamped steel wheels typically paired with chrome hubcaps or trim rings, giving the little roadster a clean but understated look. The factory offset was around +20mm, which provided the proper track width for the Spitfire's narrow body and suspension geometry.
For Spitfire owners looking to upgrade, our VTO vintage aluminum wheels offer the perfect blend of period-correct styling and modern construction. The 4x95.25mm bolt pattern in our catalog matches your factory specs perfectly, and popular sizes like 13x5.5, 13x6, and 14x5.5 maintain the classic proportions while improving performance. For those wanting a more aggressive stance, our 15x6 and 15x6.5 options fill out the wheel wells nicely without overwhelming the car's delicate lines.
The Spitfire earned its place as one of the most beloved British roadsters, offering genuine sports car thrills at an affordable price point. Based on the Triumph Herald's mechanicals but wrapped in Giovanni Michelotti's gorgeous bodywork, over 314,000 Spitfires were built during this first generation run. Today, these nimble little convertibles are experiencing a renaissance among enthusiasts who appreciate their simplicity, charm, and surprisingly capable handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What's the factory bolt pattern on a 1962-1971 Triumph Spitfire? | The factory bolt pattern is 4x95.25mm (4x3.75 inches). This matches perfectly with our VTO Wheels 4x95.25mm bolt pattern option, so you'll have proper fitment without any modifications. |
| What VTO Wheels sizes fit my Spitfire? | For stock replacement, our 13x5.5 wheels are ideal. Popular upgrades include 13x6, 14x5.5, 14x6, and 15x6 for a more modern look. The 15x6.5 is about as large as you'd want to go while maintaining the car's classic proportions. |
| Do I need hub-centric rings for VTO Wheels on my Spitfire? | Most likely yes. Triumph Spitfires have a smaller center bore than our wheels, so hub-centric rings will be needed to ensure proper centering and eliminate vibration. We can provide the correct rings based on your specific year and model. |
| What offset should I run on my Spitfire? | Factory offset was around +20mm, and our VTO Wheels range from -7mm to +38mm covers all your options. For stock appearance, stick with +15mm to +25mm. If you want a slightly wider track, +10mm to +15mm works well without clearance issues. |
