no

The stud patern is the same so as long as you have the correct nuts for the wheels then yes they fit.

AHA nuts, so mini nuts dont fit then...?. what nuts do fit?

[chrisholland1983]

hmm i thought the p.c.d was different

I've seen minis with metro gti wheels before(the cross spoke ones)

I think the metro rims have less offset and may foul suspension componants, therefore you may need to play wth spacers?

the what?

[minimender]

Mini nuts fit but you will need the correct ally wheel nuts that come with the wheels depending on which ones they are. The studs and threads are the same but as with Mini alloys, standard Mini nuts wont do..

it has drums on, and i do have spacers that ive never fitted

[Bungle]

austin rover metro wheels fit but they have a lot of in set on the wheels so you need to run a big spacer

i don't know about rover K series metro's

[Shifty]

Actually a mate of mine has just such a set of wheels!!

If you are interested I could ask him?

I don't think alloys off the K series metros will fit. The alloys on the A series GTa's are pretty much the same looking as the wheels on the Gti K series.

Possibly not, it depends on the size of the nut taper ie the shape of the hole in the wheel the nut seats into.

If the thread sizes are the same (and to the best of my knowledge) they are the safest thing would be to use metro nuts.
