They will be 4.24 or 4”, if early Val. I’ve been caught there. Measure inside to inside opposing holes will be close.

Thanks fellas ...very helpful ,thought about spitfires ,however I will stick to the old style 5 slot jellybean type as Im old and grey myself!!
Did some accurate measuring on the front with a 15 inch rim and because diameter is bigger looks like a 4 inch backspace will clear control arm and tie rod end ,so going for new = 15" CTM US Indy / Eliminator Alloy Wheels 15x7.
Not ideal size as would prefer 14 inch but will go for it anyway .I suppose this is what happens because i have retired and have plenty of time to think and research .
Thanks again fellas ,if this works out i will send some photos ...if it doesn't you will hear me crying from the my shed !!!!
