Hi everyone. Quick question. Will 15" knock off (wire) wheels from a Triumph TR6 fit on my MGB? I know the plus one wheel size for B's advertised in most catalogs is 15x5.5. This is the same size as the standard TR6 wheel. Are the splines the same? Having one of each cars in my garage, I would try it myself, but my '74 TR6 is a non-wire car (4 lug)and my '69 B has wires. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Anybody tried this?
 
Splines should be the same, but TR wheels are 15" aren't they? Any one know anything about 15" wheels and tire sizes.
 
I think most people go with 195/60 or 185/60 series tires on 15" rims...
 
I'm running 15x5.5 wire wheels on my '65 B, no problems. I use 195/60R15 tires and I'm very pleased with the handling of the car. Photos HERE.
