I would like to fit rear and front 3/4" wheel spacer on my 1992 Cooper.
Spacers are not recommended on the front because stress on bearing increase a lot.
Someone fitted spacer in the front already? Any suggestion? Thanks

I would be more concerned about the wheel studs if you fit 3/4 inch spacers.
These studs are already highly stressed and breakage is not unknown.

get some suitable wheels.
you do not want 3/4" spacers on a mini.

Spacers are not what you need. There are wheels which will fit with the correct datum offset and then there is no necessity for the dangerous spacers.

Just don't go there. In my opinion they are simply dangerous.
I speak as someone who has had the misfortune of spacer studs shearing. If you want to increase the track replace the wheels and be safe.

One might wonder why a 1992 Cooper would need 3/4" spacers. They come with disc brakes and allow wheels and the rear drums already have the built-in 1" spacing which are all correct and ideal for the car. They can take the widest 12" tyres, a 165/60, and handle well with that configuration.
It can't be for motor-sport because spacers that width are not allowed for safety reasons.
