heya, Belgian mini owner here.

im rebuilding my 998 rover mini (1990) and i have in front the 12 to 10 conversion kit from minispares, in rear i have brake drums with built in spacers.

i have also a new kit of standard arches (GAW 117).

im planning to buy mamba wheels @ midlands wheels, but im not sure if i choose 5x10 or 6x10...

the only thing i want is that i can use the standard arches and that the wheels are not coming out of the arches.


is this possible?? or do i need new arches for these mambas???? maybe some pics plz???





friendly regards, Fozz.

Mate I would say 10x5 should fit under standard arches, and I am pretty sure that 10x6's would poke out of the arches. So I would get 10x5's if I was you, unless you wanted to get wider arches.

Here is a picture or so of my car a few years before a bought it. 12" x 6" wheels, standard arches with chrome covers.

@ BenCoul, i guess these are starmags???

Trouble is the offset affects it too, not just the width

you will find the 10 x 6 will stick out

also car wont be so good on bumpier roads with the 10 x 6

so the 5x10 mambas wont stick out with the original arches??? in this set-up?? 12 to 10 conversion kit in front and brake drums with built in spacers @ the rear???
