Wheels/Fuel

[uk_geezer]

Can anyone tell me the PCD, offset, and bore, of my wheels (89-G 1.3 Special), and what fuel should I be using? (A-series)

Many thanks.

unleaded petrol. super-plus if you like.

PD is academic really, as the only wheels that will fit are pretty much off the following cars:

Maestro
Montego
MGF
MG TF
Triumph TR7

there is almost nothing on the aftermarket, even after years of searching, so if you are thinking of alloys or replacement steel wheels, its easiest just to tell them you have an mgf...


if you do a search for PCD it will tell you that its about 95.55mm (or 3.75 inches) not sure off the offset nor the bore, but again a search will find it!

Thanks for the info.

I've thought about getting some wheels off ebay.

WIll the wheels from EVERY variation of the cars you listed fit each other? I'm presuming they are all 4-stud with same PCD?

Thanks.

Yep, the only thing you may find with the MGF wheels is that they will need spacers on them to avoid the wheels catching the brake calipers.

Never seen a 'stro with TR7 wheels. Now that would be different.

All quite correct except PCD is 95.25mm. If you go onto eBay and type "4 x 95.25mm" and click to search contents of listing as well you'll get a few hits - notably from "Performance Wheels" who seem to do very cheap alloy and tyre combos. Here is an example (there may be others):

I think these would look nice on a Maestro!

and also don't forget if you are buying s/h Monty/Maestro wheels to avoid the metric rims - the tyres are hard to find nowadays and b expensive.

I did use Rover 600 14"steel wheels under Maestro Van. Off set needs an 8-10mm spacer.
