alloy wheels?PDC's,what fits? HELP PLS

[gib]

hi people,i am new to this scene and new to moggies but i am learning v-quick!!!!!my first post is alloy wheels i have a Marina disks and back Axel and want alloys so i found out the PDC for the marina's and it is 92,25 (i think!!)which i thought was the same as mgf of 1996 on-words but as i realize now they are different so could some kind person put me out of my misery and tell me which alloy wheels from newish cars will fit?i don't want mini-lites because they are to expensive and would like to fit these mgf ones that i have BUT THEY DONT FIT!!!!!!!!!!
thanx to you all
regards gib

hi, i had the same question. you have to change the wheel studs for mgf ones may be fit a spacer on the front wheels. it worked for me.

firstly welcome..

the PCD of the marina / ital was 3.75" so the mgf alloys will fit. However as stated before you will need to change your studs or use sleeve nuts. You will also need to fit a spacer at the front or the wheels will hit the uprights... is this why they do not fit?

or are you saying that the studs will not line up with the holes? is it possible to change the stud the centres.. is there a possibility that someone has modified your hubs?

The simple way to measure your pcd is to measure the distance between diagonally opposite studs.. and take it from there..

thanx for the fast reply guys,the studs are the wrong spacing,the holes on the wheels are further apart.the uprights look similar as the minor but with disks fitted,i haven't drilled the minor fixing plate yet to fit the disk and caliper mounting plate because the studs for the wheel are narrower.it seems like something is wrong somewhere but i don't know were?

[charlie_morris_minor]

the pcd of the minor is 4" the pcd of the marina is 3.75" so will be less.

I think the first thing you need to do is determine the pcd of the hubs by measuring across the diagonals and then we can take it from there..

by the way where abouts in the country are you? if you are close to aldershot you are more than welcome to pop over and see me with your hubs..

thanx charlie,I'm in crewe.i will do some measuring tomorrow then i will have figures to throw at you if thats ok? thanx

From the pics, PCD seems to be 4.5" Could they be MGB?

a quick google search gives.
