I want to fit 7x13 deep dish wheels to my mini. Will I have to make any alterations to anything other than cutting away the wing to fit sports pack arches? Thanks. >_<

There is a load of info on this already. I've just done it and cut away the amount needed with an angle grinder. Probably not the best way to do it but I'm doing a respray so doesn't matter.

as already stated do a search and you should get everything you need.
i have hi-los fitted to my mini and only had to cut some metal from the very bottom of the front panel on the drivers side where it was fouling on full lock,rolled the edge back and then re-sprayed.there is more arch choice than pose-pack arches if you are looking for that individual look,i have group 5 extra wide with a lip for attaching chrome strips which cover my 13 by 7 wheels nicely!

i have longer track rod ends to get the wheels to track properlly, worth the investment if you dont want the standard ones falling off the ends of the steering rack.. lol

but other than that and the arches i think thats it
