MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Ebay wheels

Been looking for some new wheels for my 1500 and came across these, item no. 300311099902

they are 6" by 10" and i understand midgets wheels are supposed to be 13"?

Is this right? Will these wheels fit regardless? I'm still learning and know nothing about wheels or tyres apart from the need to keep air in them!


Many thanks in advance for any advice.

James,
In brief, no Mini wheels won't fit. They have a different offset (that's how much they stick out/in to the hubs).

Also, 10 inch is TINY on a Midget.

Someone may be along to give you some guidance on what other cars have the same offset/PCD as the midget.

" old school" vauxhalls share the same 4" PCD, as do Jensen Healey (Vauxhall based suspension) Morris Minor
Not any more I can think of.
I do have a set of 13" Mini rims for the Sprite but used Peter May spacers to set them back out to where they should be
na munn

many thanks, thought as much but wanted to check.
