hi john the midget rims will fit your minor although 13" instead off 14", i dont know about the other rims though
Re: MG wheels on a minor?
13" wheels look bad enough -the Rostyle ones even more so..... and 12" wheels (where from?) would just be ridiculous.

Re: MG wheels on a minor?
13 inch midget rostyles will fit. tried it. looked awful!

on reflection, red antiroll bar and brake drums looked awful too...
6 inch wide wheels with a 7mm offset would probably stick out from the wheelarch a bit. i recon they would clear the top trunnion ok though. it'd be just like fitting a thick spacer. my 5.5 wide wheels with a 22mm offset would hit the trunnion without a 6mm spacer. so i've effectively got a 16mm offset, and with 5.5 wide and 185 tyres, they're only just in line with the wing. you could always flare the arches to cover the wheels sticking out, but god knows how heavy the steering could be with the wheels that far out.
i'd also bet you'd never find tyres anywhere near big enough to get the overall diameter close to the original size. and if you did, it'd look like a monster truck!
