I've got Rover 100 wheels on KAC, you can get the correct nuts for the wheels in either 3/8 unf, or M12 x 1.5.

I've used Mk 6 Fiesta studs, or you can use Rover 100/200/400 studs.

As Clive says, you may need to grind a small flat on the head, just to clear the hub flange.

I've not seen the correct nuts in 7/16, but stand to be corrected.

Arriving late to this thread as I am, is there something I am missing?

Why not also use the Sprintspeed hubs, Ian? That way you get M12 studs and a Ford PCD which opens up a much greater choice of wheels.

Ian.
Its just load more money and I have sierra brake conversion on the front with turned down hubs to 17mm.
I'd have to redo all that to suit new hubs.

Also loads of 7/16 unf wheel nuts with 60 degree taper (for MGF) on ebay so nuts will not be a problem.

Now purchased MGF (well Team Dynamics 15*6 alloys for an MGF) wheels. Hopefully i will have them refurbed and fitted in the next few weeks.

Going for escort 7/16 studs for rear hubs with suitable 60 degree nuts.
I'll update when fitted.
