Save up & go for the conversion kit
All you need to change over to 10s is 7.5" or 7.9" Calipers & disks.
Arches group 2's or above for 10x6 also the front arch will need to be cut to allow the wheel to turn
...
Also you may need to take your suspension into mind, since doing the conversion i have had to fit adjustable suspension & hi-lows to stop the wheels rubbing on the arches. i also cannot take rear passengers :S

Front arch is not a problem as i put 7x13 alleycats on, so have already trimmed. who's the best to get the conversion kit from? Minispares has a sale on theirs at the moment. I don't have backseats either due to having harnessess so no worries about passengers!

Minispeed are not stocking the cooper s alloys anymore as the supplier is not importing anymore but if you give him a ring he might have some left he did when i ordered mine only cost £157.00 delivered
I will hopefully get round to fitting them this week i will post some pics when done

Fitted the Minispares Cooper 'S' 7.5'' conversion kit a few weeks back, very well made and a very good price (was in the sale to ) well worth the money imo!

Hi have just put 10 mambas on my mini. I got my 12 to 10 brake kit from mini spares, very good price, and very good kit.

but i have also put Goodrich hoses on, and new copper brake pipes, because the old hoses dont fit onto the new calipers straight. makes the difference better.

I also have adjustable suspension, with hi lows at the rear, i keep, trying to find the right setting on my dampers, to stop wheel rub, since i lowered it to much lol.

hope this helps.
