Hi Rich-
The wire wheel setup is about 3" narrower than the disc wheel
setup. And, yes, it is a snap to change all at once as you will want to
rebush things as you go (Leave it alone, Bob). By the time you have
swapped out all the stuff, you will wish that you simply put a disc diff
in the car. The springs and shocks and stuff are all the same but it is
a lot easier to work on when all the stuff is on your living room floor
instead of up in the MG.
