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 to suit a 205/70R15 tyre or contact us if you are using any other size and we recommend 15"/16" rim bands.
Notes Standard wheel was a Rostyle or alloy, did not have a wire wheel option originally.

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, replacement nuts requiring an internal Allen key wrench and Daimler badges are available from stock. The wheels are not supplied with Daimler badges fitted to the caps, these must be purchased separately.

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