1978 MG Midget Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 MG Midget MK IV fastens wheels using a 4x101.6 bolt pattern. The stock setup runs 13x5 wheels at +18 offset. You can also fit 13x5.5 wheels to accommodate a wider tire while maintaining compatibility. Since this classic doesn't run staggered sizing, front and rear use the same diameter and offset specs.
Keep in mind that only the 4x101.6 bolt pattern will fit your Midget. The hub center bore measures 65.1mm, so if you choose a wheel with a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offsets or excessively wide wheels risk contact with the fenders and suspension components, so stay within the compatible size range we've listed.
Every wheel we offer for your Midget is confirmed to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock Vision and Fairway Alloys in fitments for your car, giving you solid options for classic styling.
