MGB V8 alloys . . .

[Rob]

just a quickie... is the MGB V8 the same stud pattern ,(4x101?), as the normal MGB ??

and if so, whats the biggest steels in this PCD...

go on then... look busy

I'm having a similar dilema with the moggy by the sound of it.
The only way I think you can get big steelies in that pcd is to go for VW/Vauxhall/BMW/Renault etc wheels. Their 4x100 but should still fit.

ps: managed to drive in and drive out of an MOT centre yesterday with my dignity intact.

not even an advise... huh? how did that happen ?

MGBs are 114.3mm (4.5"), the biggest easily available steels are probably those off a TR6:

5.5x15 but with a hefty offset.

ps. MGB and MGBV8s do have the same stud pattern....incedentally the same as some Marina vans.

Yer the Stud Pattern is the same matey, Tr6 Rims would not fit mine as the are too wide and MG did a curse word just at fitting the rear axles and none of them are central

You can solve all sorts of problems with the right tyre choice.

Thats very True i Just tried some standard ones off a TR6 so what ever tyre were on that and one side rubbed and the other did not the axle is about 5Cm over to the left too much
