SD1 Vitesse wheels

You'll need special nuts to fit them, either special ones to match the P6 UNF stud thread, or change the studs and nuts to ones from an SD1, as with the front hub grease cap, change that to one from an SD1, and depending on the tyre size you choose, the "D" post may need tweaking a bit to give enough clearance.
You should find loads of info if you use the "Search" function.

Hi Jez,
My Vitesse alloys are fitted with 205/65 15 tyres. This gives as close to original rolling radius as possible. I didn't have to modify my arches but as Harvey says some people have and more often than not with this tyre size which is about as big as you can fit really without major mods. Also I managed to find some SD1 type nuts with a P6 UNF thread, this saved me the hassle of fitting SD1 front studs to my hubs.

If you only have 4 wheels, you'll need to give some consideration to what you'll use as a spare.

I had to machine some off the back face of the rear wheels to clear the arch - I forget how much though!
