off hand I know a few:

older Japs - Datsun/Honda/Toyota
Triumph saloons / stag /
MGB
Saab 99/900 (pre '87)

the reason i ask is that i'm after some 5.5 x 13 steel or 5.5 x 14 steel 
that i can fit the original hubcap to.

 From a 1987 Indespension catalogue:

1/2" studs on 4.5" or 114mm PCD: Triumph 2000/2.5; Marina van; Allegro; 
Maxi; Princess; Saab 99.

?dia studs on 4.5" PCD 1100/1300

I knew I'd be glad I'd kept that catalogue - though it's worth keeping 
just for the magnificent cover, which shows a gathering at a lake side, 
where they'd gathered 20 people, 12 trailers, a horse, and a greyhound, 
all posed "realistically", presumably to show how jolly useful trailers are.

I particularly like the man shovelling sand and bricks onto the grass, 
and the bloke about to hit his mate over the head with a sledge hammer, 
while the customer at the catering van looks on.  Priceless.

Wonderful!
Has that motorbike actually got a towbar?

It's a concealed one, sir.  Page 217 of the catalogue, near the bottom 
of the page, just under "dog kennels".

And this was all pre-Photoshop, so someone really did gather all those 
people and kit together, and make them hold daft poses.  Did no-one have 
the courage to point out to the MD that not all Friday afternoon, 
post-good-lunch ideas should survive the harsh reality of Monday morning?

Perhaps the crag-visaged Alderman Foodbotham was also Chairman of 
Indespension - "Look, lad, ah want that photo and ah'll have that bloody 
photo - just get it done".

Even if you don't "know" the metric equivalent to 4.5", it's not 
difficult to figure it out.
