the studs are 4 inch pcd which is 101.8 mm, only very early moggies had 4.5 inch pcd. The problem is that 101.8mm pcd measurement is not very popular, any more, so finding alloys could be more difficult ( read costly ) when compared with say 108 mm pcd which is the Ford ( and others ) stud pattern. Might be worth having a read of this previous thread..

The Mini was the last production car to use 4" pcd wheels. You need to find classic 4" pcd alloys on ebay, or buy a set from specialists such as JLH. http://www.jlhmorrisminors.co.uk/ They sometimes have 'deals', so it's worth asking. You must NOT try to make alloys with 100 mm pcd fit because they will snap the studs and may cause you to have an accident.

I got my alloys from Bull, v. pleased with them, perfect pcd, but you might need to lengthen the studs first for them to fit.
