Hi Danny,
The Vega wheels are indeed the same 4 on 4 bolt pattern. They work great
on the Morrises. But they have a lot of space in their wheel wells. The
Vega wheels have a lot of offset and may not fit on Spridgets RWA or any.
The rims come in both 5" and 6". To fit, they need the centers opened
up a little to clear the front hub centers and the rear axle cap. The
lug holes are larger than 3/8" so you need to use the lug nut as the
centering device on each stud.
On a Morris they look like the old EZ Clean wheels of the late 30's on
the Morris 8's.
