Hey mini owners

Im just about to buy a set or 10x6 ultralites http://www.minispare...mp;prod_id=2155

Just a few questions, I know Im going to have to get smaller brakes, but I don't know what size wheel studs im going to have to use, at the moment Im not sure what size are on the car, but i am using non-blinded nuts and spacers with 13x6 sportspack wheels so im guessing there not standard ones... The car is 1982 and has discs allrealy on the front and 1"spaced drums on the back... but the studs are pretty knakkerd so I want to chane them, also Im not sure what wheel nuts im going to have to choose as im going to the locking wheel nuts

Thanks for your help in advance, I need to know tonight at some point as I want to order asap sorry for the rush

Cheers Chris

If you buy the conversion kit from minspares or minisport, the studs on the cooper s discs are built in so you don't need to worry.

Thank you parts came today, pretty happy with them so far, appart from my new arches :/

whats up with the arches,

also a little tip, if you have the little disc guards or shields, take them off as they will not allow the proper fitting of the discs, well on mine they didn't, other than that they pretty easy to do
