Not sure what these wheels come from? the seller seems to suggest they fit every MG ever made?

I run 13 185 tyres on my square arched midget but to get that clearence I had to modify the axle by shortening it so that the wheel run closer to the spring.

I am not sure also of the mounting of these wheels. Standard Spridget is a conical nut fixing there is another method which is spigot mount which these could be?

Finally I not sure anyone could give you a difinitive answer about these wheels and tyres (famous last words)so if you are wanting to be 100% certain I feel you would need to visit the seller and give them a try.

At 9.75cm PCD I would suspect FIAT/Lancia as they used 4 x 98mm PCD on many cars in the past IIRC. 4" PCD would be 101.6mm so a little way off and the 2 locating holes remind me of certain manufacturers, not sure if FIAT, but the wheels I have on my frogeye have the same sort of holes for alignment pins fitted to the hub and they came off a FSO Polonez, I remachined them to suit 4" PCD.

If they won't fit his Spitfire, they won't fit an MGB either.
