For what it is worth the original MGA workshop manual they say the 
following with regard to wheel nuts "Tighten the nuts to a torque wrench 
reading of 60 to 62,5 lb. ft (8,3 to 8,65 kg. m.). Do not overtighten."
I do wonder would these settings change over the years due wear and tear on 
the bolts?
And lastly the front end wheel clunk experienced on my MGA was due to the 
break shoes being incorrectly fitted and adjusted.
