If you're planning on keeping your mini long term, then yes. But if you intend on selling it in the not too distant future, then don't. A standard car is easier to sell, and worth more than a modified one

Im planning on keeping it for as long as i can Also JB93? Do you own a Thirty too as its in your Sig?

Do you have to drill new holes for group 7 arches? Or do they go through the old ones?

Drill new ones as far as I know, but there are these on Huddersfield mini spares that go in existing holes if you wanted to go for smaller wheels?

Ok thanks, I still want the 7x13's :) I'm guessing the group 2's wouldn't cover them enough

& no cutting up the back arche with angle grinder too is there? :)

The back is fine, you can fit 13x7's on the back with standard arches haha

Those group 2's even let my mates 12x6's poke out a good 4cm

That's good. Didn't want to say to my dad he'd have to help cut back too :/ I don't think he's too pleased about it all lol

Ahhh I guess he likes the idea of keeping it standard?

Fit 10 x 6's if you want to keep the std arches and and not cut the bodywork (unless you drop it too low)

It will handle better too
