Offset

[Onne]

I would like to know what offset I should look for, the setup is Marina front and marina diff/axle.

PCD is 4 x 3.75"

Thanks

I wasnt saying you should look for a specific offset, just that maestro/montego ones might be too much and they would rub

[Onne]

I know, but surely there must be some sort of figure to look out for?

I do know the MGF will probably have a FWD setup, as it is mid engined.

Err... I would have thought that having the engine behind the seats the MGF would be RWD

[Onne]

It is. But it use a setup very similar to a front wheel drive car.

Like a front subframe mounted behind the rear seat, and the steering locked up... I know some kit cars work like this, and I would assume that MG-Rover used as much parts out of the parts bin as possible to cut down on costs.

[Matt]

MGF wheels are used on mgfs and mgtfs afaik nothing in the rover range at the time used the same PCD

[Onne]

Ok, GAS has just told me that they are almost a straight swap, just need a 5mm spacer to clear at the front

[Onne]

And I don't know when the MGF was developed, that might have been in Meastro Montego era, which have K-series fitted (?)

[Matt]

err MGF seems to be 96 on

I think the M & M have all sorts fitted, I know that had A, O and E series fitted but dont know about K

[Packedup]

Maestro and Montego never had K series.

The MGF is more Rover Metro based, and has the Rover Metro PCD (and engine, sort of!).

[Onne]

Ok not my strong point, I don't normally go past september '56

That is ONLY concerning cars of course

[GAS]

MGFs and Rovers don't have the same pitch.
I thought i could use the space save spare form a rover in the back of my traveller ,but no..
