Maestro wheels

Post by nac363 » Mon Dec 19, 2016 4:22 pm

Hello, does anyone know, will a MG Maestro Lattice wheel, 6j x 15" wheel, fit a Marina, without too much fuss?

No They wont fit PCD is Wrong. MGF Wheels will fit some may need spacers though, there is a thread on here about it.

Sorry, don't understand. The Marina and Maestro both have a PCD of 95.25, I was just worried about the "ET". The Maestro 's ET is 28, but I don't know what the Marinas is.

Yes they do, I had them on my Ital Estate, but you need bespoke spacers and the 'correct' tyres to miss the front suspension uprights. They will also find any weaknesses in your front end and steering, but do improve grip and handling immensely.

You will need to measure from the inner face of the wheel to the hub mount. I think it is only a 10-12mm difference, but you will need spacers and longer studs to make sure the wheels don't go walkies, also make sure your wheel bearings are in tip-top condition and set right.
