They go on an Acclaim, here's one with BMW mini wheels attached:

Image :D

Image borrowed from RetroRides, if you have an account there, search for "Slammed Acclaim on MINI wheels" and up she comes.
No, they don't fit on an MGB, those half 4 & 1/2" x 4 hubs, none of this newfangled metric stuff for those.
You could put a set on a Minor/Spridget/A40, etc. if you didn't mind bending the studs a little :shock: as they're the closest imperial match at 101.6mm/4 & 1/2".
