1981 Triumph TR8 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1981 Triumph TR8 rolls on a 4x95.25 bolt pattern with a stock wheel sizing of 13x5.5 at a 25 offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths within the compatible range, which includes 13-inch wheels from 5.5 to 7 inches wide, 14-inch options up to 6.5 inches wide, and 15-inch wheels in 6 and 6.5-inch widths. Since this is a non-staggered setup, all four corners accept the same fitment specifications.
Only the 4x95.25 bolt pattern will fit your TR8, so verify this measurement before purchasing. The hub-centric bore is 57.1 millimeters; if your wheel's center bore exceeds this, install hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Aggressive offsets or excessive widths risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so staying within the listed compatible sizes protects your investment and handling.
Every wheel we offer for your TR8 is verified to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. While our in-stock inventory varies, we maintain selections that match your vehicle's exacting specifications.
