No.
4x95.25 PCD. If it ain't that, it won't fit, and it's too far from anything else to wobble bolt.
Small Triumph (not MG- midget etc doesn't fit) is the most common in that size, or MGF if you want modern wheels (which generally look a bit pants). There are a few others (including some Formula Ford stuff) but not many.

Formula Ford stuff harks back to Lotus using Triumph Herald front uprights for the 7 and single seaters during the '60s.
MX5 is 4x100mm btw.

Indeed

Still fancy a set of the formula ford Wellers someday, 6" wide ones ideally.
Shame the Marina isn't 4x100 as there's a lot more choice- always thought they'd suit ATS Classics- original fit on Opel Mantas and the wheel of choice for the watercooled VW lscene a few years back...

Assuming it's a heavyweight there's a lot more choice. MGB/ Big Triumph (Stag/ TR6/ 2000 & 2500 Saloon etc)/ Scimitar are the main suspects from the British side (Chris has a set of TR6 steels on his Ital pick up that look great), but there's also loads of older Japanese stuff that does. 4x114.3 in new money, 4.5" in old

If the Hyundai wheels have a PCD of 4.5" (114.3mm) and four studs, then they will be fine for 10 cwt/57commercials but not 3.75" (95.25mm) on the 7 cwt/440 versions as they use the saloon wheels etc.

Quite a long list of 4x114.3
here - Datsun/Nissan, Mitsubishi/Volvo, Hyundai/Kia, Daewoo/Chevrolet, SAAB.
Interesting that the
Lotus Elise S1 (1996-2001) had 4x95.25 with offset of 10 - sounds just about perfect.
