What I have found, and have done, is that the axle fitted to MGB from 1965-1980 the over all length is 1 3/4 shorter on the WW or 7/8 on each side from the center of the spring bracket to the outside. To help with the difference in the offsets of the wheels,
WW to Steel, you need a 1/4” spacer between the wheel and the brake drum. But, always a but, the studs are now not long enough. Finding studs that will work was a PIA. We found that studs from a Toyota worked the best to fit the holes in the hub with out drilling
the holes. Have done this 3 times now and it places the wheel almost in the center of the wheel cavity with no interference of the week to the body. Good luck.

</div>
<div>The best solution is to find a steel wheel axle and use it. Overall cost should be about the same and a bit less work. <br>

<font size="2">Wire wheel axles are a couple of inches shorter than stud wheel so if you put standard wire wheels on standard WW hubs on a chrome bumper car the rear tyres will likely foul the arches. RB cars are usually OK unless they have been lowered.
There are conversion hubs that bring the wheels in by about half an inch or so, but you can still get fouling especially on the left. BT, DT, eventually got a pukka wire wheel axle with my aftermarket Dunlop WW wheels but they still rub a bit with 175s as
the inset doesn't seem to be as much as the originals, the rear track being 1270mm instead of 1250mm.</font></div>
