1979 MG Midget Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1979 MG Midget MK IV accepts wheels with a 4x101.6 bolt pattern. Your stock setup runs 13x5 wheels at an 18mm offset. Both 13x5 and 13x5.5 sizes bolt on directly, giving you modest flexibility in width while staying true to the classic proportions of your small British sports car.
Your Midget requires wheels that respect the 4x101.6 bolt pattern—nothing else fits. The hub measures 65.1mm, so use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore to ensure proper seating. Wider and aggressive offsets risk suspension and fender contact on this compact car, so stick within the compatible sizes and stay mindful of how far out your wheels sit.
Every wheel we stock for your Midget is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Vision and Fairway Alloys both offer fitments ready to order for your classic British roadster.
