The PCD (bolt pattern) of the MGB is different from the Minor, so no, they won't bolt straight on.

indeedy, minor PCD is 4 inch, and MGB is 4.5 inch. so you'd need adapters, or redrilled wheels, or redrilled hubs, or to fit MGB running gear!

also, those wheels look like a pain in the bum to clean!

You can use the Rostyle (Midget) wheels. They have the correct pcd for the Minor but are 13" not 14" so don't "fill" the apperture to my mind. You can get alloys from minor suppliers. They're called Minators correct pcd and 14" but are a bit pricey.
