Wheels - How do I not understand?!?

Adam your options are
1. Use standard 4 stud, 95.25 pcd wheels (team dynamics do this fitting)
2. Fit hub adapters (Jon Norris or Mike Satur do these) you can then put virtually any 4 stud wheel on. I'm running with Jon's adapters and all it does is make it look like you have wider wheels. If you're fitting 17s then you will need to push back your wheel arch liners otherwise they will rub on full lock.
3. Fit 100pcd flanges, Allen's looking in to getting some made up.

Hope this helps a little.

Adam I went through exactly this, hence me going for Team Dynamics :yesnod:

Allan heated my wheel liners and pushed them back to eliminate rubbing, quick and simple job to do, well it was for him :whistle:

think for me its going to have to be adapters as i want to fit the 17"wheels of an 800vitesse probably my favorite wheels lol

My 16" hairpins from the freestyle rub on my mk1 on full lock.. I will have to have a go at heating up the wheel arch. using spacers isnt a problem if it kicks the wheels out but if they are past the egde of wheel arch it will fail mot.. solution is to get your archs rolled and flaired.. mmmmmm 911 rear look :broon:

If your budget allows you can also approach various company's who sell wheel blanks who will then drill them to your spec.

Or another option is to take them to a machine shop who will plug the holes out and redrill to your spec.

If fitting the spacers you would buy wheels with the correct offset taking into account the spacers. It wouldn't be a case of any wheel sticking ~20mm out further from the arch unless whatever you fitted had the same offset as the original MG wheels.

My car will probably end up 5 stud, as the choice of wheels is far more..

I've seen the wheels I want and can only get them in 5 stud





This means custom flanges

New brake discs

New wheels... Not a cheap option but as my car will have custom brakes its not to big a deal for me

Not very cheap... But no adapter

Hi All,

Hope its ok to revive this thread

I like the look of the mgzr 17" straights which are sooo cheap I thought it was worth investigating them and was going to see how much they would cost to get redrilled to fit my mgf at a local engineering shop.

So the PCD needs to go down from 4x100 to the 4x95.25
The Centre Bore needs to increase by 0.5mm

The only difference then is the offset, which is 45 on the zr wheels (as compared to the 35 on the f).
Would I need to use spacers to space them out or would I be lucky and the ZR wheels may clear the inner arches?... has anyone tried doing this already?

The last question is if all the above works out, what do you recon on my chances of fitting them over ap calipers!

Thanks
Martin

Just wondering where they came up with 95.25 for the PDC (95.25/25.4=3.75)

Morris Marina, Lotus Elan/Elise, Triumph Herald etc all three and three quarter inch pitch circle diameter; Obviously some MG bits never made it into the metric system!
