Here is a list of interchangeable wheels that was posted previously.
Important note: just because the bolt pattern is the same doesn't mean
the wheel is a good fit. The offset may be different, particularly with
front wheel drive wheels. Not all of these wheels would necessarily be
14" diameter, either, and the widths will vary. But this would give you a
place to start.
My guess is that 195/70-14s were the ones that were rubbing on the 72...
4 on 4-1/2"

Michael Blair had this to say:
>Anyone put aftermarket wheels on an MGB? I have a 78B and want to put them

>Looking up the specs for these wheels, I get the following:
> Wheel Size - 14x6
> Bolt Pattern - 4x4.5
> Thread Size - 12mm x 1.5
> Center Bore - 60.1

>Does this seem correct? Size looks right, not sure how to check the others
