The Moss Motors catalog is a handy reference for questions such as this...
[MGB-16, p. 25]
MGB standard 14 x 4.5 60 spoke
MGB upgrade 14 x 5.5 72 spoke
A-H 100, 3000, TF, MGA, TR2-3 15 x 4 48 spoke
A-H 3000, TR4, Morgan 15 x 4.5 60 spoke
MGC, Morgan 15 x 5 72 spoke
TR6 15 x 5.5 72 spoke
TR6 center-lace 15 x 5.5 70 spoke
Note that the only wheel shown in the 15 x 4.5 size is NOT an MG wheel, it's
for A-H/Triumph/Morgan. I would re-measure your wheels, and check the
splines to make sure they do fit MGBs.
