The 7x10 was an improvement over the previous 6x12's. Despite being 'wider' the centre has no built in spacer so they actually sit closer to the hub and further in the arches than the 6x12's. As for handling it was an improvement. Those are a 3.5"/3.5" inner and outer.

What size and make of tyre have you fitted to them?The 7x10 was an improvement over the previous 6x12's.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. Is there more torque steer? just wondering what its like with no power steering

just a comment here Torque steer is i believe the wrong word. what i think you are asking about is tram lining. how the car behaves over imperfections on the road surface.
and how the car behaves has much to do with the suspension set up also having an ET close to/or zero can help.

well tram lining too, but i did mean torque steer. like does it pull(turn) almost too much when going around corners fast?

Torque steer is very common in a straight line and very often this is induced by high engine torque through unequal length driveshafts. The effect of oversteer or understeer when cornering fast is more to do with suspension setup. You ask about pull(turn) through fast corners, this is more commonly associated with incorrect corner weighting, suspension set up, tyres far wider than the original design parameters for the original suspension set up, hence the understeer or oversteer. I know Nick can answer for himself but technically he was correct in saying its more about tramlining. This is something I have experience of and I'll say it's almost impossible to dial out if you want the look of wide tyres on a road Mini. I have the worst of all worlds, high torque and 175x13 tyres. If you fit wide tyres with a standard engine, the cornering, while not being great, won't be as bad as a high torque output engine.
