> car, at which point they list all the rims that fit your car and it's
> bolt pattern. Of course, none of them list MG as a model of
> car, so I
> was wondering if anyone could suggest a late-model (post 1990)
> automobile that would have the same lug-pattern and clearance
> restrictions for the MGB. I've found several 4-lug 15"x 6.5"
> or 15"x7"
> rims, but most places I've looked at say that the MGB can't
> handle 15"
> rims any wider than 6" (or 5.5"). Can someone confirm or deny that?

> Second, if I convert to a rear-end with a 5-lug pattern, can anyone
