12" wheels with Yokie A539s.  Tires will rub at front of front wheel arch if mini is too low.

8.4" disc brakes up front, Cooper S drums at rear with City flairs.

Thanks

Lets have a look Alex.

Still got the slotties, but no tyres as we completely sold out of 10".

hmm...my link should have been to the wheels for sale...Jelly Beans

Rich thaqt truck is gorgeous.

 

And Alex. you still have them?

Yup, and to compound your misery I had a gorgeous set of professionally refurbished 5x10" deep dish slotmags for sale there, with tyres...

These are only 5 x 10, with the cooper S 7.5" brakes and 3/4" spacer in back. I'm happy with the stance. Any wider would have required the flares to stick out further, and with all our dirt roads and poor drainage, I have too much experience with water and mud flinging from the tires onto the body of different cars.

EDIT: on the floorboard issue, a customer came in with a Mini for an oil change and had steering problems and tires rubbing. His floor/chassis mount was rusted away, leaving the whole subframe twisted backwards.

 

Damn Al.  :( 

 

And Spitz nice truck.

Here is a set right out of the 70's

Will fit Cooper S disc and drums

Ask Don, its the default avatar that MM issues you with if you ignore the whole issue...

Cheers, Ian

And on my way home from MM East, l came up #15 thru Harrisburg PA and was only 30 miles from you and l had a set of 12 x6 tyres/alloy mini Lites on board-

BIG AL

Yeah... since about the turn of the century (or so it seems) , I've been wondering what in the world is with that avatar!

Kinda reminds me of the Dr. Who episode "The Empty Child".

Just realized I missed MME.:(

Well a kind thank you MM.  All the same.

And weird blurry apple face guy with numbers for the name,  ()  Thanks to you as well.

Im going to hunt a local set to try them on. thats the best route I think.  MME is coming up I hear,  and I bet with a little bribe I could get another owner to let me swap them out and try them on.  I have to imagine at the mini-meet east there will be lots of dealers too selling them.  Ya?  

"....At full turn (ON THE JACK STILL) the wheel rubbed the floor board, and I have a feeling that even after amending that it would still rub the frame..."

While I have never fitted 13" wheels i have seen a few....

A mate had 13s on his car that did not require any cutting.  However, this was because there was no more offset than fitted under standard Mk II s flairs. IMHO its the offset that has most to do with the tyres hitting the arches.  While wheel diameter does play a part, (and, yes, ride height as well even 10 inch wheels will rub if they have sufficient offset - BTDT ..and the handling is terrible....

You should note that the Factory fitted steering rack limiters (that reduced steering lock) on their Sportspack cars  to prevent the standard 13 inchers fouling on the rear inner area of the wheel well at full lock.

Cheers, Ian

 

 

Jeff, Just getting back to this.

I'm not trying to be condescending. I think I just assumed you knew the level of involvement and had done some research before buying. My post is just trying to make sure people don't make the same assumption I did. I think it will benefit you if they are all very clear on the type of modifications you may need to do in order to make certain wheels fit.

And I really think you should evaluate your suspension and other things if my wheels were hitting the frame and floors. They are a high negative offset and shouldn't be hitting the floors at al let alone the frame. This may be a real issue with any other wide wheel and high offset.

Thanks Jedduh,

  Im in Gettysburg PA.   I had never considered this might be such a hassle.  I was told they might require a some trimming for the 13's  but never realized that it might take SO MUCH.  Im not about to chop up this beauty just for the sake of a little look enhancement. 

  Anyone around the Gettysburg PA area with a set of 12x6's  I could try on??        Ill have a nice donation,   possibly a steak dinner.  

And Cameron, I felt as though you were very knowledgable and this is a position that one should be wary of when the advisor is also the seller.

   My truck is nearly all stock kbut for the  7.5" discs.  And "MINOR TRIMMING" is what I expected.  At full turn (ON THE JACK STILL) the wheel rubbed the floor board, and I have a feeling that even after amending that it would still rub the frame. Obviously those are a more specific wheel and the negative offest was greater than normal. 

If you are looking to hash it out for the world we can go that route.  Im comfy leaving it at this.. "we both should have thought a bit more before comitting"  Fair enough?     Cheers.    I hold no grudges and still think highly of you. Just want to find my wheels is all.    and PS Im  EATING the return shipping, so what did I cost you? ....  nothing.  It cost ME $150 to find out they dont fit.

Heres a pretty rad article

Where are you located? Finding a miniin your area could be a great way to bolt something on and see if you like it - Ive got 12x5 on a car + 10 x5 and 10 x6 on a cars and have a mini friend also with 13 x 6 and steered him away from 13x7s.   Also another car with Sportspack wheels 13x6 all local.

 

Reach out if someone might have some wheels to try. So if you're in Charlotte - I can offer help!
