no the narrow ones

having drum brakes makes your wheels stick out a inch less than a disk braked mini

[imaparana]

from what year would they have discs

[Bungle]

depends what model of mini

all were after 1984

only 1275 GT and coopers before this date

thankyou you have been very helpfull

[imaparana]

one more question
if i had disks what arches would i need

[Bungle]

but 1984 or later brakes won't fit under 10 inch wheels

[Bungle]

if you had cooper s disks you would need group 2 extra wide or group 5's

but 6x12 wheels would fit

[Bungle]

yes that is what i have

[.Travi]

How about grp 5 euros? Would 6x10's fill em out on standard drums?

also what would you need to fill out grp 5 euros?

[RetroRay]

Get a set of 13 x 7s cant go wrong then pretty much any arch will look good on them

[dan_up850]

it all usually depend on wheels, different offsets: example, 10 x 6 wellers stick out about 3 1/2 inches on disks, needing GP 2 Wides, GP 5, 6's or Euros. On drums it will be and inch less as bungle pointed out, so you'll need GP 2 narrows, W&P, Etc etc.

What i would do is if you really want it to stick out as wide as possible, find the wheels with the biggest offset (10" wellers or some deep dish 13x7's) bung them on some disk brakes (10" = 7.5" disks, 12" and 13" 8.4" disks) and choose arches to suit......its all mix and match to be honest!

no

as i said drums will make you wheels stick in an inch compared to disk breaked minis

you would need a 2 inch spacer to fill those arches (not safe)

Thank you, so what would I need to fill out grp 5 euros? Std cooper s discs?
(Must be 10's by the way)

[Bungle]

cooper s disks and your 6x10's should do the job
