i have a 1998 rover mini MPI and was thinking of fitting the genuine sports pack arches and alloys to it. do i need to change the steering rack?

[R1minimagic]

Yes or cut the arches out a bit more, up to you..

thanks for the quick response; however i have down loaded the sportspack arch template from the minispares web site and was going to cut the arches tonight, this will be very painful as i fitted all new front end panels this weekend and used heritage which as you know they are not cheap.

i then had this thought that the rack may be differant, if this is the case i would stick with the 12" wheels but i have some genuine sportspack wheels and arches lying around so i thought i woul fit them. i would not want to go to the expense of a new rack.

does anyone know if the mini spares takes into account the standard rack or not?

buy steering rack limiters or similar

[evansisgreat]

Isn't that what steering rack limiters are for? If not, what are they for?

Arnt the limiters for stopping the wheels hitting the inner foot well and not the wing? As all 13" hit the wing im sure!.
