Vintage Minor Register

Afternoon all,

I've been offered a set of Morris 8 wire wheels at a really good price. I'm desperate to get shot of the steel wheels I currently have on it that are 6 stud and I believe from a 1947 Hillman Minx. Will the 8's fit the Minor? I appreciate they are a little smaller at 17" I believe, but is the pattern right for my 3 stud Minor?

James,

Yes, they will fit. They will take 450 x 17 tyres. 450 x 17's and 350 x 19's have the same outside diameter. The Morris 8 wheels will have six stud holes, whereas the Minor wheels have three stud holes. But that wont be a problem with your hubs, assuming you have the standard Minor 3-stud hubs.
