Rover Gamme Rover - véhicules particuliers
Rover's core lineup consisted of road-going sedans and compacts: the 200 and 400 series (family compacts), the 600 and 800 (upper sedans), then the 25, 45, and 75 in its final years. These models targeted customers seeking comfort, sound insulation, and refined finishes rather than sportiness. Several were based on Honda underpinnings, a guarantee of reliability, while the Rover 75 embodied the high end with its retro-British styling. Production ceased in 2005 with the bankruptcy of MG Rover. In North America, only the 800 was marketed, under the Sterling name (1987-1991). For buying tires and wheels, these sedans typically use 15- to 17-inch wheels (5x100 bolt pattern on the 75, often 4x100 on the smaller ones); in Quebec, plan on a set of winter tires in the original size and check the exact bolt pattern, as these models are rare here.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Rover récentes (séries 25, 45, 75) sont des berlines et compactes de taille moyenne, généralement chaussées en jantes de 15 à 17 pouces ; la Rover 75 utilise un entraxe 5x100, alors que de plus petits modèles recourent souvent à un 4x100. Les dimensions de pneus se situent dans les plages courantes des berlines européennes (autour de 195 à 205 de largeur selon les versions). S'agissant de véhicules anciens et rares ici, vérifiez toujours l'entraxe, l'alésage central et le déport exacts avant tout achat de jantes. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires : prévoyez un montage hiver adapté à la taille d'origine.
