just wondering if anyone knows if 15" centre lock alloys will fit a "B", with out any major mods, they wheels i might be able to get hold off came off a AH 3000, so not sure what offset they are. cheers
 
I'm not sure about your wheels specifically, but I have 15" x 5.5" Dunlop wire wheels on my '65 B with 195/60R15 tires. No rubbing issues. However, if your offset is too far out you may have a problem. Additionally, all MGBs seem to be a little different from each other regarding rear axle centering. Unfortunately you may have to try it on your car to find out if it will work or not.
 
They *should* fit....but as Steve sez, it appears that almost every MGB/MGC out there has the differential centered differently. If these rims are Minilyte, K&R, or Panasport deigned for the MG, I'me betting that the offset will be correct. I have 15" K&R on my '69 MGC...and experience rubbin on the passenger inner fender lip when hard turning to the right. FYI.
