As above, after some very wide minilights and managed to find some 100mm pcd with a et-6 spacing. Anyboday done it and do they look ok.

No, they do not fit, and wobble nuts are unsafe and illegal, as has been said before on this forum.

Wobble bolts aren't illegal.  They aren't suitable for Minis as they arent hubcentric but they are legal.

you can get your hubs redrilled to 4x100 easy enough (fronts anyway) and you could use a set of PCD adapter spacers on the rear

Have wobble nuts ever proven to be unsafe? Or is it just people assuming?

[Chris1992]

plenty of minis have 8 x 13s. they will fit, but require a few body modifications

On a practical level 8" wheels on the front makes slow speed steering very difficult

Even more so if you have a small steering wheel too.

I have 7's and really dont see what people moan about with the steering being heavy? 

Best bet i'd say is getting the hubs redrilled to suit :)

anybody know any companies that will do the re-drill

Any reputable engineering company will do it

[james962]

How will you do the rear hub? It there enough meat to drill another set of holes? May only be able to use a wheel PCD adapter?

 

As said above, you can't use wobble nuts as the wheels don't self centre on a spigot ring.
