MG MGF Technical - Wheel PCD

Hi All,
What is the PCD of an MGF wheel please?
Thanks.
s page

4 x 95.25mm (from the Metro) whereas as, the industry standard is 4 x 100mm.

That would be about 3.75"

Isn't that the same as MGA/MGB? What are you planning, Simon?

Gary, when you say Metro, do you mean the later K-series models?

I thought the early ones had the same PCD as the Mini - 4"

I'm currently searching for an MGF for my brother, although I might see if I can find one for myself, too.

I cut and pasted that from a someone who sent me the information. I'm assuming very late metros.

Hi Dave,
I am just looking at options for 15 inch wheels that might fit my A.The chrome wires look great but are the devil to keep clean. Also I am more of a Minilite alloy wheel kind of guy. MGA are 4.5 pcd I think

Yes, A series Metros have 4" PCD.
And yes, the MGF is the same as the K series Metro - 95.0mm, not 95.25 (the latter being 3.75")
MGA & B have 4.5" PCD. The MGB does have 4 x 3.75" PCD securing its brake discs to the hub (which made it quite easy to fit MGF discs on to it as the out-of-line was only a few thou at each hole and overcome by going up a size in bolt.)

Although quite a number of cars are 100 PCD, it could hardly becalled an industry standard as an awful lot aren't. 4.5" PCD is very common too (Nissan, Volvo, Mitsubishi, some Toyota), and 108/4.25" appears quite a bit (Ford, Audi, Peugot IIRC and others).
