I am fitting sports pack arches to my mini 1987, I have used spacers on the front and have bought minifin drums with built in spacers on the back, however the wheels on the rear do not come out far enough inline with the front. I have looked at the old drums and they appear to have a built in spacer aswell so I am not making it any different to the original on the rear????
I have read thread topics from other users and they do not recommend using spacers aswell as the minifin (with spacers) so am a bit stumped on what to do? Started to wonder if the minifins have the spacers built in already and was trying to find dimensions on internet but can't so can't check them. Can anyone help with either the dimensions of the minifins with built in spacers or recommend what I could do now?

Thought minifins were unspaced? The superfins were the ones with built in spacers, if memory serves me correctly!

Im also in your situation and was also aware that minifins are not spaced just the superfins but justification will be required

All late Sportspack minis have spaced drums on the rear and 7mm wheel spacers fitted from the factory. I have a few sets of these, PM me if you would like a pair

Yes

This would fill a sportspack arch with a 13x7 wheel??

The Sportspack has 13x6" wheels and they don't quite fill the arches so a 13x7" probably would with the same drums and spacers

I'm pretty sure that I have bought the superfins as they look like the ones with the built in spacers, that's why I wanted the dimensions. If they already have the spacers built in what can I do do bring the rear wheels inline with the fronts?
Thanks
