Title: Stud Pattern for the 105
Post by: Ishamael on February 22, 2008, 09:27:45 PM
Hi all,

Just a quick question if I may.

I'm looking to get some new rims for my GTV 2000 105 (1973), and save my originals.

Does anyone know what the stud pattern is for the 105's, and what are the biggest tyres that will fit within the wheel arches?

Oh and if anyone has any advice on the size/type of rim that looks good on the 105's, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

stud pattern is 108 pcd

i managed to get 16 x 7 under the car but had to sacrifice a lot of turning circle and would not recommend it for a road car

as far as what looks good, well that's pretty subjective.  I wend for a set of super lights as i think they suit the age of the vehicle and they were good value for money

Colin you've been an awesome help :)

Yeah I read your thread about you doing up your red 105 for Targa when I first joined this forum - awesome thread, and pics :D

I'm currently getting my body done by some PB's/Restorers, I just hope my body turns out just as good as yours did.  I have been visiting the panel beater, and some of his welding work looked a bit rough - I suppose I will just have to wait and see the final result.

Eventually once my car is put back together, I will get your advice about shockies/suspension for my 105, as I don't know much about it.

I know you recommended koni 80 series to someone in another thread, but I'm not sure if I need to pay for a set of adjustable shock absorbers?
