This is only a listing (very likely with many mistakes) of cars with the
same 4 bolt pattern and therefore MIGHT fit a TR. In fact, all the ones I
marked with (FWD) most likely will not fit, as wheels for front wheel drive
cars usually have a large offset and they would most likely rub something
(like the brake caliper) on a TR.

I certainly haven't, beyond the one compact spare I tried. And since I'm
not certain what car it came from (was lying on the ground next to a Nissan
Maxima in the junk yard), that's not much help.
ISTR a long time ago, someone telling me that MGA wheels would fit on drum
braked TRs, but would also hit on the TR3 calipers. But the calipers are
smaller and mounted closer to the axle on the later cars, so they might fit
others.
That's another point to consider ... even though all TR2-6 (and Stag, etc)
use the same bolt circle, the clearances to other things are definitely
different and even vary from car to car. Wheel swapping is never an exact
science.
