Date of change was 1984 with the Mini25 And the kit 12"/8.4" disc to 10"/7.5" disc is about £220

Most weird thing I've seen so far:




I can't see any spacer. And they look like 5.5 or 6" wide.
And seem to have a gigantic offset!

Was on a white Mini with orange cage/painted orange inside.
Seen on SRR08 - someone knows the owner...?

What size are ur wheels? and what brakes are you running?

Where can i get the arches from ?

Depending on where you buy them they are group 2 xtra wide or group 5 arches.. i go tmine from MWS and they are group 5 arches!
The MB RACING splitrim wheels are only 10x6" and im running a cooper s brake set up! (pretty normal setup really, nothing rare or hard to find/fit)

Hope this helps, Flip

if you fit a beefy spacer you can also fit wellers.

You will then only put extra strain on all you ball joints and bearings.. thus having to replace them more often!

You wouldn't see the spacers from that angle anyway.

I hate including pictrures in quotes but I guess this time it is relevant...

They look suspiciously like normal Wellers but put on backwards - not an advised practice!

[GraemeC]

Actually, having waid that I'm not sure now as the valve is in a sensible place! Mynext guess would be that someone has modified the wheels.

You can tell there is little to no spacer used by where the hub nut sist in relation to the centre of the wheel - a gig spacer would mean it would be much deeper in there.

I think a modification is the most probable awnser
I'm going to ask him about if he comes to SRR08 this year.
(Forgott to do so last year)

yeah, i know that, but im just replying to that guy claiming that the fancy steels are the only 10" wheel you can fit over 8.4" disks. which themselves contain a large inbuilt spacer.

[imaparana]

would it make your wheels stik out more ?

[chadd123]

I am not claiming to be an expert on minis i was just trying to help the guy out , but i said that these are the only 10" wheel that would fit(I THINK AS I HADNT SEEN ANYMORE) again i guess that if you used spacers you could properly get most wheels to fit if you had long enough hub bolts but i could be wrong
Ansd the wheels are alloy not steel
