MG Midget Alloy Wheels

[chrisgriffiths]

Hi,
Does anyone know if a set of 13" alloy wheels (minilite type) off an MG Midget will fit a 1967 Minor.
If anyone has fitted them at any time I would be grateful for any imfo.

Best Regards
Chris

Yes - straight swap. Slightly smaller wheels of course -but with 175/70 tyres the rolling radius will be very similar - and the grip and handling much improved . Of course - if they are only 4.5 J wheels - you won't be able to fit 175 tyres..... They need 5.5J wheels......

The 4" PCD of a MG Midget is the same as the 4" PCD of a Minor so they will be a straight swop over.
I have a set of replica Minilite wheels (7J) fitted with 205 x 60 x 13 on my Minor and am very happy with them.
I have only ever had one problem with them and that was a porous rim which was rectified by obtaining a replacement rim.[frame][/frame]

I used to have a set of 13" ex-Midget minilites on my Traveller:



Sadly, one got damaged in an accident, so I sold the remaining three and went over to LP917 van wheels instead.
