MG MGB Technical - MGB Minilite Wheels

I know that there is acres of info on wheel size in the archives, from it I deduce that a Minilite 6x15 with 23mm offset and 195/60 or 65 tyres will fit an mgb roadster 1971? Can anyone confirm before I part with the cash ! ?? Before painting, I turned the rear wheel lips in just in case of fouling. Thanks Andrew

Mine has Minilte style 6 x 15 wheels, although I'm not sure of the offset. Wearing 195 tyres they fit inside the rear arches, but only with the lip folded up. Mind you I have Hoyle IRS so this info may not be very useful to you.

Must be someone with 6 x 15's on their MGB?? Just been told by Midland Wheels that they only do Minilites for this vehicle with 15mm offset. Anyone know if these will fit? They are all 'to order' so no chance of a trial fitting before buying.

Thansk,
