Hi guys/gals,

Currently got 12" 4 spoke Revolution on the mini and wondering what width they are. Not looking to replace them anyway though may refurb and colour change them from black to gold.

I thought 5" but not sure. I need to get some new arches too so this is why I'm wondering. I can't get to the garage to pop tyre off and check for a few weeks.

I took.a few pics for your thoughts, could they be 5.5"?

Also what arches would you recommend?

Can’t answer you directly but every wheel should have standardised coding detailing size and offset. Usually it’s stamped on the hub side of the rim somewhere.

Give this link a try

Ah sorry I didn’t read your post properly... oh well I leave the above there for general knowledge... :)

I'll give it a look over when stops hammering down with rain. Tried to spy a stamp between spokes to no avail.

Looks like only option. Typically the Jack and tools in garage.

With regard to arches was thinking about group 2 but unsure I do like the standard ones but as you can see from the link the wheel is poking out a little

They look like 6inch width, check on the inside of the hub, should have an ET Number(offset) and either 5 or 6 J
