Wheels from Mitsubishi Colt on MG ZR: compatible?

Yes, with hub centric rings

Same 4x100 PCD, but the centre bore of the wheels from Mitsubishi Colt (67.1 mm) is larger than the hub of MG ZR (56.1 mm): you need 4 hub centric rings 67.1 → 56.1.

Rings 67.1 → 56.1

Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Mitsubishi Colt is compared with the one from MG ZR of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of MG ZR (Ecrous - 12x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
