Fitting wheels on a Caterham 7 Classic

A Caterham 7 Classic (1992–1998) uses a 4x95.25 PCD and a centre bore of 56.6 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

PCD: 4x95.25 required. See all vehicles with 4x95.25.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 56.6 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 56.6 mm.
Offset: the original is ET15. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
Fixings: thread -. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore

Same 4x95.25 PCD and same 56.6 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Caterham 7 Classic without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.
