you're rover mini cooper should already have 12's on...... are you talking about keeping the same circumfrence wheel (12") but changing the width? (i.e..5"-6" etc)....

depending on how wide you go,.. you may have to trim some metal off the wings to allow the wheels to go on full lock without scrubbing on the wing.
