10s win it for me every time.
This did have 13s when i got him many years ago, now sat on 10s as you can see.

The current pic is a work in progress hence why its missing the locking wheel bolts if you can see that close.

13's


10's


p.s The 13 inch split rims i might add are sat in my garage doing nothing. if anyone wants to make me an offer for them. send me a pm. almost brand new Perillia tyres fitted, abit aged but will be fine to use. 175/50/13. there not really for sale as such but if the right price comes along i might go for it.

10's mate, i would say.

at the end of the day though dude, its personal taste, whichever you prefer.

some 10's can be a bit tricky though with having the right brake setup such as 6x10 wellers.

if you are running 12's at the mo, and have discs on the front then yes, i think you can convert to v.early cooper s discs which are v. rare or you could change to drums on the front, i dont know of any conversion kits (im trying to look for one!) but yh

8.4" disc to 7.5" (Cooper 'S') disc conversion kits available at Minispares and Minisport.

Use remanufactured 'S' calipers and drive flanges etc. You can keep your original 8.4" hubs and CV joints etc.
