Would a 15"x7" 4lug x 4-1/2 with 0 mm offset and 4" of backspace work?
I know wheel threads go on forever but I have a chance to get a nice set cheap. But once I have them shipped I own them.
Thanks,

John, if you are asking if these wheels will fit a standard mgb without flares, the answer is no.

Mike's correct - I have 15x7 Panasports with 22mm offset (std MGB) on a Ford axle that is the same width as the std "B" axle and they are close to optimal for fitting in the wheelwell.

So Mike, if the wells are flared they will fit? I was concerned with rubbing the inner side.
Thanks,
JB

If your axle is a std width "B" axle , then you will have no problem with inner well interference by using those 4" backset wheels - you will, of course, have to flare the fenders.

classic conversions

When you say offset, is the offset + or - in another words is the offset on the face of the wheel or back of the wheel.

Many companies now days they refer to + offset sue to the FWD wheels. The best way is to measure your backspace (offset in the back of the wheel) and order a set with the same. this will help you.  https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html#backspace
