Tyre 205/70R15
Tube Tubeless

This wheel has always been tubeless. Tubes are only required if fitting tube-type tyres.

If you are using tube-type tyres or wish to fit a tube for any other reason then you will need 195/205 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15"/16" rim bands.
Notes The standard wheel was an alloy or a Rostyle - did not have a wire wheel option originally.

This wheel is suitable for vehicles manufactured up to 1993. It will not fit vehicles manufactured from 1994 due to clearance problems with the callipers.


P.C.D. is the Pitch Circle Diameter and is the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the centres of the holes, click here for instructions on measuring PCDs

All MWS bolt-on wire wheels are supplied with the appropriate nuts, caps and wrench. Replacement centre caps, replacement nuts requiring an external socket wrench, and replacement nuts requiring an internal Allen key wrench are available from stock.

Old BXW715 wheels may have a smaller centre cap (diameter 82mm) than is supplied with the current wheels (diameter 94mm), please check which size you have before ordering replacement caps.

For bolt-on wheel nuts the recommended torque is 75 ft lb (102 N m) but may vary depending on the vehicle

Extra Information

Other comments We have heard that a centre lock conversion using our XW493 wheels with Series I E-type hubs has been done, however, this has not been tried, tested or verified by MWS.

Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear.

Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted.

We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
