Hi everyone, I want to buy some wheels off ebay which are 10" x 6" and was, wondering if they would fill my arches, my arches are group 2 wide from minisport here is a link, they are 3.5' wide at the widest point,

And here are the wheels

I would like the tyres to stick out a little bit over the arches, Thanks for any help!

good point you will need to change your discs to a smaller size (7.5" or some 10x6's fit over 7.9")

I have a set of 7.5" discs which I think came off a 1275gt, well I think It was a gt, it was a clubman! Thank you all for your help, they took them wheels off before they ended which is anoying! I have now found these they should fit the same shouldn't they?

Yeah they should be fine, you might get away with regular group 2's on those or W&P, best thing to do is get the wheels, fit them then measure how much wheel you have sticking out then order your arches, I know it will take more time and you wont be able to drive your mini for a few days but at least you'll have the right arches :thumbsup:

I wanted to do it the other way because I really want some group two wide arches and want to get the right sized wheels to fit them
