Sport-Track Wheels

Sport-Track 7 Spoke


The Sport-Track 7 is a high performance, economical, aluminum wheel. It is also the only wheel that will fit the 4 on 100mm bolt pattern used on Honda, Subaru, and all trucks 1999 and newer!

Minis have a 4" (101.6mm) wheelstud PCD I'm afraid!

Judging by the size they look in the picture thy're probably plain too big aswell! Are they for trucks?

You can get PCD converters but i doubt you can get them for a mini
as its likley there is no demand for them

Being for a 4x4 they will have a +ve offset which means more wheel outside than inside... if you use PCD convertors you are going to increase this offset even more, probably to the extent that they will end up hanging off the end of the axles...

IMO, if you want that look, find some superslots or slotmags... which are designed for the mini

You'd have a job on your hands as you will need to make new drive flanges on the front, and the rear end would need a completely different hub/brake setup I would imagine. Other than that, clearance around the dampers could be an issue, sensible profile tyres for 12 x 7 could be a big pain to get hold of and they probably weigh an awful lot if they are designed for trucks!

Still though, wouldn't be impossible for 100mm PCD drive flanges to be made, and grafting rear suspension assemblies from another car with a 100mm PCD wouldn't be out of the question...just a hell of a lot of work!

nothing iffy about pcd convertors, yes they are like a spacer but bolt to the original studs, and then in the spaces a second set of studs are arranged 45 degrees offset and at the PCD you require...

100 x safer than 'wobble studs' which can be bought from chav tuner shops...
