Subject: 240Z wheels --> MGB ?
This weekend, I plan to look at some wheels that fit a 240Z --- If my=20
memory is not as bad as my eyesight, I believe the bolt pattern is the =
same=20
as the MGB. Can anyone verify this? (These are 14 x 6 wheels.)
And what about offset? Are they similar?
I do know that my TR6 wheels will bolt right on the MGB, and I recall =
that=20
240Z wheels will bolt on to a TR6. No? (No, I didn't drive around with =
TR6 wheels on the 'B - it was just necessary for moving the 'B around =
the=20
garage while the 'B wheels were getting repainted.)

Can't say anything about offset because wheels differ in that regard, =
but bolt circle should be fine. I have had a set of Appliance wiremags =
on my B since about 1978, unfortunately they necessitated the cutting =
and flaring of the wheel wells, and they still scraped occasionally. =
It'd be nice if you could try them before you buy.
