I've done a search but can't seem to search for 7.9 it only searches 79, which is useless!

 

This Brake Kit

 

Will these fit under 10" wheels? If not all, which ones?

 

Ideally wanted these wheels, but apparently they don't fit... (I've emailed mini sport)

 

Can you fit any spacers to the front wheels? All the spacers I can see seem to be for the rear wheels?

 

And before anyone says just for 7.5" I really want vented discs...

All the time I want bigger wheels, the one time I get talked into 10's the first response is bigger wheels! I want to keep 10's as I don't want the car to look to modified, trying to keep it fairly standard looking (within reason).

 

they will fit with 3mm spacers, specifically these ones http://www.minispare...h/classic/wheel spacers.aspx

How sure are you of this?

How close is the fitment? Any pics from behind the wheels?

Will defo have clearance, but I think it will completely ruin the look of the estate! :P

As you can see there's quite a lot of room. Clears the wheels weights no problem. I tried my friends 10 inch mambas on and they wouldn't clear the brakes.
