Sorry, should've been clearer, by fit I mean fit in stock arches and without any body mods.

If your mini was originally designed to run 10's or 12's then the biggest you can fit without touching anything is a 12x5, any more and you'll have to trim the forward edge of the front arch...

If your car originally had 13's then, as with roofless's standard *cough* cabrio, you can squeeze 14's in with some very thin rubber, your limiting factor is the distance from the rear hub to where the radius arm attaches to the rear subframe.

5 inch (depending on off set) is how wide before you have to start cutting
