Yo i wasnt 100% sure where to put this but can i get a 6" wheel with out cutting and bending and changing brake parts?

[bankxi]

no you cant get a 6'' wide wheel on a mini without haveing the arches roled

[miniman5]

buger that idea then! what about 5 and a half's?

[kaney]

all we had to do on our mini was get a big hammer and hit the arches about five times on the inside...now everythings fine

6x10s wouldn't need much..

I can fit anything on mine tho, had loads of wing cut off for the metal arches :tongue:

if there 12x6 then you would have to cut arches but you wouldnt have to modify brakes in any way. if they are 10x6 no arch mods are needed but brakes will if you have the usual 8.4 inch discs.

you might just get away with 12x5.5 but that depends on how straightyour car is!!

well it dont look wonky to me

My brother's old mini had one wheel about 5cm further back then the other one :gasp:

Due to a few accidents, and a bent subframe, but it still drove ok :tongue:

ohh dear :tongue:

I think you can fit the 12 6 Deep Dish Superlites without any mods becuase of their offset or sommit

I've got 6 x 10's over 8.4 brakes. Almost all wheels that are wider than standard need the arches cutting or modifing.

[rob mini]

its not too much of a hardship to cut the arches back though !

Would somebody just mark on a pic of some arches where they would need to be cut please
