Nothing is truely direct bolt on, in that you _must_ consider wheel offset to
prevent bearing problems.
But, having said that, you will find that being a steel wheel MGB owner is a
Good Thing when wheel shopping.
Besides the usual MGB aftermarket stuff, many Mustang, Z car and other
Nissan/Datsun, and a host of other cars all have the same bolt pattern ,
4X4.5 inches. So go explore the junk yards, tire shops, et.al... there's
millions to choose from! 
Practicallity wise, I'd go with a 6 inch wheel, and 195-60/15 should be a
nice fit. If you are adventurous and have a cooperative wheel shop, I saw a B
with 215/50/15s that fit, NO rubbing, but it took a perfect offset match to
make it all fit!
Enjoy!
