Lotus Elan Aftermarket Wheels & Tires
Enhance the lightweight precision of your Lotus Elan with aftermarket wheels and tires designed to preserve agility while adding vintage or restomod styling. Whether you're restoring a classic Series 1 Elan or modifying a later S4 roadster, we offer fitments in 13 inch, 14 inch, and 15 inch sizes. Most Elans use a 4x108 (4x4.25") bolt pattern and benefit from narrow offset wheels for fender clearance. Choose from lightweight vintage-friendly brands like American Racing, Konig, Vision, US Mags, and Ridler. Every wheel and tire package is mounted, balanced, and shipped ready to install.

FAQs
- What bolt pattern does the Lotus Elan use?
The Lotus Elan uses a 4x108 (4x4.25") bolt pattern, which fits narrow classic hubs. This pattern is ideal for vintage wheels and compatible with several compact European platforms. - Can I use 15 inch wheels on a Lotus Elan?
Yes — 15 inch wheels are a popular upgrade for restomod Elans and can improve tire availability without sacrificing driving feel. Just confirm offset to avoid rubbing. - Do these wheels fit over stock disc brakes?
Absolutely — our wheel options are selected to clear factory and upgraded brake components on Elan Series 1–4 models. - Are tires mounted and balanced before shipping?
Yes — every wheel and tire package is mounted, road-force balanced, and shipped ready to bolt on. - Where can I get help choosing offsets or widths?
