Not sure why it would be using spacers. Those wheels look like they're 6x10 so are quite wide and stick out further than the standard arches. I'd say that mini is not using spacers.

i really dont think it has, if you look at the offset of the wheels you can see there quite deep dish. The arches also arent very wide either so together, nope i dont think so

sorry for my newbishness, but what is a 30?

It is not my car, but I wanted to run something similar, converting my 12 brakes to the 10, either cooper s brakes or the conversion kit.

I really don't like running spacers, but man does that car look good ; )

its a limited edition, to celebrate the minis 30th anniversery, the mini thirties were made in 1989, the mini first went into production in 1959.

Don't think it's running spacers. I think I've got the same wheels but in silver, they stick out a fair way too...

That's on the spacered drums (Mini Fins) on the rear although this picture doesn't show the rears fitted, and Cooper S 7.5's on the front.
Sorry about the awful tyres! :P
