Does anybody know if standard 13" minilte wheels from a mini will fit my moggy.
I have been told they are 4"PCD.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Montego are 4,5" PCD I think, and the offset of the mini wheel might not be right

Get used to it... nothing seems to fit the s*dding things.
Mini wheels will do, probably need spacers though.. standard steel wheels arent far away from the suspension legs as it is!
Only decent alternative to standard are MG Midget wheels - or if you have deep, deep pockets - brand new ones from a specialist.

I have seen some offers for a set of 4 Minilites including tyres for 250 pounds or thereabouts.
Keep an eye out on EBay

Only Marina/Ital VAN is 4.5" PCD. Normal Marina car is 3.75" PCD - hence many Triumph (not Stag) and MGF wheels will fit a Minor that has been fitted with Marina front discs and hubs - and Marina or Dolomite rear axle. So - makes that conversion a whole lot less expensive if you can chase up a set of MGF 15" wheels which are often cheap on ebay. Montego wheels MAY fit - but only if 3.75" PCD.
For normal 4" PCD Minor - Mini Roverlites will fit as far as pcd is concerned - but I don't know about offset (I think others have said ok?) and the standard Mini tyres are v low profile and probably will look daft on a Minor. However - just fit higher profile tyres (say 70) and should be ok although smaller diameter than 145 x 14 x 80 section Minor tyres.
