You have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of wider wheels. Depends what your going to use it for

[willava182]

Social use mainly, what's the disadvantages if them?

[porl]

Just hacking the wings about with a grinder. And they can make your steering heavier. Depends on what you want. Just don't rush into spending money then regret it.

Yeah of course, if i wanted to research mini wheels, wheres best to do so?

[porl]

Look on midlands wheels or Huddersfield mini spares. And try looking on here to see what other people have got. I'm on 5 x 12 super lights with standard colour coded arches.

[willava182]

Ok thanks

[willava182]

so what wheels fit, without modifying the wings?

[porl]

It normally says on the websites. If you want something that drives nicely and isn't too heavy then id go for 5 x 12. The styles upto you. But if you want something a bit wider then go for 6 x 12. Or shell out and put it on 10s

[willava182]

ahh yes i see, not a great example, first one i clicked on, "Body modification - Possible" . Ha

[porl]

Because your Mini is rally orientated id go for something classic like rose petals or Mini lights. But that's upto you

[willava182]

Yes, been looking at them and they seem very nice.
Currently looking at these

However i would need group 2 arches?

[porl]

Doesn't say that you would do. Says body req none. Theyd look good on yours. Don't see them that much

[willava182]

Right ok, but i guess they would add to the rally look, and to make them legal, as they stick out a bit.
And not its whether i can afford them haha

[porl]

The 5 x 12 are only the same size as mine and they don't stick out that far

[willava182]

Ahh yeah, should be alright then, 5 x 12 seems perfect for me,
and just spotted these on ebay
