1st: a Mini's PCD is 4" -> 101.6mm!
2nd: depends on what brakes you'r currently runing... Drums on front will be fine, as will 7.5" & 7.9" disc brakes. Anything larger and they don't fit. Rear brakes fit any size wheels (except wide wheels need the 'spacered' type).

So basicly: we can't tell you unless you've told us what's on your Mini ATM

Depends on engine size. A good mate ran drums on his 1275 and they used to smoke like mad when it rained (as they got wet). Anything bigger than a 998 is best on discs.

Of course!! I meant it like "if your car has drums on front - the wheels will fit". Assuming he's not runing a 1275cc+ engine if the car's allready on drums

I guess noone will be mad enough to downgrade from 8.4" discs to drum brakes, especially with a powerfull engine (850cc+ if you ask me )...

You'll need to modify the arches so the wheels dont catch on your turning circle, easy enough job. Other than that, theres nothing I can think of.

okay can u get templates or something to do this

[navyseal]

Nope. Each car ive done it on differs. Depends how the panels fit, wheels alignment, size, width, fitting etc etc
