Does anyone know what the offset is on the 12x4.5 standard minilites on the coopers,I have a 91' j reg cooper and want to keep the standard arches but put on some 12x5.5 or 12x6's they seem to come in different offsets so if I can find out what the offset is on the original minilites this will help

But following on from that, say increasing the width from the standard 4.5" to 6" with the same ET, means you will need to accommodate an extra 3/4" of wheel on the inside, which may/will hamper the wheel on the inner arch and shock absorber, and affect your turning circle.
