MGF steel wheels on a Vitesse

[Fasterandfuriouser]

Hi all,

 

Will MGF steel wheels fit a Vitesse?

Wheel PCD is right but will the offset work?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Sort of. They are a bit inset compared to "our" car wheels. 

On a vitesse based kitcar I was gifted many years ago I tried fitting montego alloys (probably similar offset??) and they just fouled the rear radius arms. Solved with some spacers.

On a rotoflex car that probably wouldn't be an issue.You may encounter rubbing on front wishbones at full lock too.

 

These are similar issues to using sprint wheels.

Thank you Clive.

 

That sounds positive. I actually have alloys with the standard offset on the car and with 175/70x13 tyres, there is some catching on the rear arches. 

 

Hubcaps next, I've seen a few Morris Minors using these with chrome dished hubcaps (not sure how they are retained) and the look is very period.
