I believe MGCs came with 15" wheels, so there shouldn't be any clearance
issues. And it should give you a wider choice of modern rubber.
Appearance-wise, larger wheels are probably a good match for the GT, which
might be considered to look somewhat top-heavy.
In general, I am not in favor of the current trend of fitting oversized
modern wheels to everything in sight.
