Have a new set of minilite 5x12 from minisport with 165/60x12 Yoko's. Standard mini 30 rears stick out slightly from arches but the front catch on the front valence, outside of tyre when turning.
The cones suspension height is OK.
Has anyone any idea whether there are different offsets available.
Now at a bit of a loss.
Many thanks in advance.

I've got a set of Minilife wheels and the offset on those makes them stick out too far. I had to trim the front arches a bit and move the plastic arch extensions to get enough clearance. I fitted negative camber brackets on the back which I had planned anyway which made the rears stick out a bit less. 

I don't know what the standard offset is for the 4.5 inch wheels but the 5's should only stick out half an inch more mine were more like an inch.
