Hi!
Im wondering what are the biggest wheels I can have on my mini in terms of size without having to cut the arches or the wheels touching the arch. I like the really big deep dish ones I think they are ultra light or something, and which arches would be best for them, dont really like sports pack arches

Wider wheels of 12 and 13" will require surgery on the wing I'm afraid and arches and you will need the stops for the steering rack to limit the amount of travel on full lock to prevent rubbing.

From my own personal experience 12x5 seems to be the limit without the need for cutting into the arches

If your not planning on cutting the arches u really carnt have anything over 5 inches wide as they will catch the front arch's im afraid
