wheels...marina axle...

Post by **callyspoy** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:01 pm

just thinking, pondering along in life...does anyone know of wheels that you can fit to a marina stud pattern, that are 14" or larger, that look sort of similar and that are wide...ish...! i know im kind of searching for the holy grail, but ya know, one must ask!

MGF alloys fit the marina hubs, im not sure if the complete mg range of cars share the same stud pattern but i have a set of the 14" minilite looking wheels to go on my rag top project wich has all marina running gear all round.

i've got MGF wheels on it at the moment, as in my pic, but i kind of cant help myself but get swayed back to wide steelies!

Most small triumph wheels will fit, but are 13"

MGF wheels will fit (as you have found out). Some have 14" steel "space saver" but these are still large enough to have a reasonable tyre on.

Maestro/Montegos also fit and Montego wheels are avaliable in 14x5.5J and had 185/65/14 as standard. I have put a 3mm spacer behind my front wheels as they were rather close (but not fouling).

I think the best option would be montego steels adapted to take a minor hubcap. There will be a set of standard ones avaliable shortly ;)

Marina PCD...
Montego wheel with 3 studs added for hubcap and a set of wheel embellishers would be what you're looking for?
You could use 175's on the front to avoid spacers!

I don't like the wheel embelishers but they are darn good for hiding wheels ;-) Roger Rust was trying to give a set away...

For some reason thise wheel embelishers dont seem to fit...

yes and no, i like the idea of the montego, but i am more interested in deeper dish. and in regards to the embelishers, i had just a chrome ring on my old stock wheels, they looked pretty hot, so i would probably just go with something like that.

Well I think whats been listed above is your limit unless you want to redrill the rear drive flanges, drums and front hubs or redrill the wheels
