13x6 Or 13x7

ok..simple question i'm sure (for those who know).

currently have 13x6 sportspack alloys on my 99 cooper. They are totally shagged and it's really time to replace them.
Can these be replaced by 13x7's, or should i replace with the same size?

13x7 look better

you can replace them with 13x7s yes, and if you have the spprtspack arches fitted, which im guessing you do then you dont need to alter these! however, you may need to trim a little bit of the wings depending on the offset of the rim, so that you can turn full lock without catching the wing.

by the way, love the name lol

thanks for that....I'm probably going to stick with 13x6's to be on the safe side. The wings have already had a bit of a trim, and it was a nightmare (long story)..and it might be that it's still not enough for 13x7's. I know 13x6's fit..obviously, as I've got that size on. THe main reason for asking was due to the fact that there seems to be a greater range of alloys available at 13x7.

Anyway...i think i've found some at 13x6 that we like.

Cheers
