Im considering bidding on these wheels for my mini as they look ace but i dont know if they'll fit. Im unsure about offsets and such. Anyone know if they'll fit my 88 jet black?

Thanks

Chris

Nice link, i think i might bid myself :grin:

Only joking mate,

and i would´nt have a clue if they fit Sorry,

if there cheap enough (it´s E-bay) pay ya money and take ya chance,

im sure if they dont, you´d be to knock them on in for a bit more in the autotrader or something, :cheese:

Guessworks will tell ya!

I think the PCD is wrong. Mini is 101.6mm

Ive asked the seller for more details of the wheels and where his measurements are taken from (centeres or edges) and hopefully ill be able to work it out from that. Id still be greatfull for some help from anyone though!

I've seen this type of wheel on a mini before, was in a mini world years ago, think they were pretty rare, i'll try dig the mag out.

Cheers NE-matt, proof is all i need! lol

Found the mag, the wheels are very very simillar, the spokes are the same but the centres are slightly different, oh and the ones in the mag are 13"s!! Very simillar mind!

[Pickup76]

Thanks anyway, im still waiting on the sellers email so should be able to tell from that.

Apparently the offset is "aprox 22.5 - 25mm" does this help?

Just because the same type of rim has been fitted to Mini's before doesn't mean that this set have the right PCD or offset. They may make the same wheel type with lots of stud patterns and for many cars.

Yep, hidden in the ebay listing is the PCD (Pitch circle diameter), which is 110mm ...

A mini is 4 x 4" ( or 101.6mm )


I'll drop an FAQ up about wheels (PCD's and offsets) and tyres..

hello if you remember a few months ago you got a free calender with mini mag!, look on the side where on now and theres a yellow mini underneath march, thats got the same wheels!

[The Roadie]

I think you'll find the ones on that mini are 4 spokes miniman5.
They look strangely like Ford RS 4 spokes.

Can't you get those gorgeous 5 spokes machined to fit the stud pattern, or is there not enough meat on the rim?
