I went out to the garage and measured all my car's clamps and came up with
this:

74 Midget Rostyle wheel   5 1/4"
74 MGB Rostyle wheel     6 3/8"
68 MGB wire wheel          7"
Don't have a wire wheeled Midget (yet).
All 3/8" X 24 thread

When I put the 165 70's on the Midget, I had the same problem. I put a
thread connector (looks like a long hex nut) on the end of the clamp and cut
the head off of a bolt to screw in the other side. Screwed them both in and
out 'till I found the right length and spot welded them together. Kinda
crude, but works for me.

Does anyone know if the wire
