Last November when I was putting my snows on my wife's Altima, I tried 
putting the summer (stock) alloys on the MG, since it was sitting right 
there. It wouldn't go.

Phil Vanner has an old Festiva (Fiesta?) wheel, that we tried on the 
front of my MG. It's tiny and wouldn't go over the caliper. We didn't 
try the back. Someone on the list pointed out that, for drivability we 
wouldn't have wanted to put the little thing (13 inch) on the front 
anyway. We never got around to trying again. The bolt pattern is right.
