Hi Simon,
The Hawk uses MGB splined hubs ( 42mm) so the wheels should fit using the usual spinner. Not sure on the offset but as Hawk uses both MGB uprights and hubs it should be the same.
I use alloys but I’m sure someone else with the slabside model can oblige with a confirmation.

Hi Simon, I bought a set (and still have them) of MG wheels to move the chassis around so yes they do fit! My car is now being painted on those wheels rather than the FIA's - didn't want any paint to get on the alloys!

Sorry, Don’t think I made a very good job of asking the question! Would wire Wheels off an AC Cobra (not a kit) fit onto MGB splines? (For a Hawk)
Thank you.

MWS AC Cobra wire wheels and spinners fit on MGB splines. I've got a set of painted wires and stainless wires that fit on splined hubs off an original MGB and new MGB splined hubs.
I assume that answers the question?
