The 10" golf cart wheels take a pounding! I hit some wicked potholes here im NJ /Philly with those wheels.
To be honest,id trust them over the lightweight 3 leice race wheels thay people seem to not be scared of lol.

I'm sure there's someone out there already that put a Mini on 8" atv wheels, even though they're not rated for that weight or speed of passenger cars.

Simple recipe for Excitement: Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

It is a little-known fact that that the Mini was initially designed to run on 8-inch (204mm) wheels. However, BMC the carmaker behind the Mini, ended up settling on 10-inch (254 mm) wheels for its debut 1959 Morris Mini model. forpc.onl youtube vanced for pc

Pretty sure Dan is spot on (as usual). My 87 Austin Mini City-E (RHD) has front disks (12" wheels) so would make sense the 88 & 90 would have as well. I believe the Mayfair is essentially the same car but with different badging & whatnot.
~ 30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions @ the shrink. ~

Thanks Dan, I appreciate your help. I am definitely going to be conservative with what I am going to tell the trucker.

The vehicles are as follows if this helps:
- 1990 Austin Mini Mayfair
- 1988 Austin Mini 1000 City E
- 1990 Rover Mini 1000 City E

Anybody's guess as to what wheels/tires they would have though... after 30+ years. I'd assume the worst case.

better figure 39 inches.. because it is bear to straddle the tyre tracks on transporter.. and real PIA when you run off in the inside hole.. ask me how i know ?? the wider the tyre 165/12 the worse it is.. 145/70s 12. are easier to manage.. best to do with winch.

Do you know if the rears have spacers and does the front have discs brakes? It makes a difference.

Hello,
New to the forum. I have three classic Minis that I am importing and will subsequently be selling. I was wanting to know the width of the vehicle from the inside of the tire. The reason I am asking is I want to make sure it will fit on the tractor trailer that my friend has. He has a 9 car double decker hauler. I am worried that the car will be too narrow.
Thanks in advance!
