Hi

Can anyone show me a picture of a mini with 13 x 7 inch wheels so I can get an idea of how wide they look, and let me know if they are worth putting on especially if the car may be used in competition, and other than cutting arches back which Im fine with, what else is required for fitment - are spacers neccesarry, etc, bearing in mind Ive already uprated the front brakes with Metro turbo hubs and calipers.

Lastly, Are group 5 arches, the widest arches available for the Mini's? and can they be found with carbon fibre effect on them?

Just some ideas coming in to my head for the ongoing project of mine :P

Cheers,

Ben

If you want some fat arches then Miliga's will do the trick but you need some fat wheels to fill them!
