A ps. I have had a closer look and this won't work anyway. Anyone any other suggestions?
I have tried MGB 14 inch wheels which fit one side but not the other. Which 15 inch wheels does anyone recommend? Do MGC wheels fit OK (5inch) or Healey 3000 or MGA?

: I would like to fit the later 4.5inch wires to my Mk 1 BMC suspension Turner with Disc brakes. The problem is the bigger wheel fouls the steering arms. Is it safe to put a 12mm spacer between the wire mount and its mounting platform? The inside edge of the wheel will then be in the same place as with the smaller wheel so I would imagine the forces would not be that much greater.
