[mk3 Cooper S]

Neither of my sets stick-out enough for arches lol

Are you on drums or disks?

awesome car by the way

Wish I could say discs, but drums all-round is the hoest answer.
The cooper s set-up makes the wheels stick-out too far I believe so arches would have to be on and thats a no no for this car.

Tis is reverse rims with full S running gear and 165 tyres.
They stick out a little bit but not enough to worry the MOT man!!

They're probably OEW. Heres my car with 6x10 GB's. Going to put reverse rims on this week.



Heres what the reverse rims will look like on the car

[Down&Out]

Cheers for the comment. Hope they fill out the arches with the tires on them

[mozzo1]

when useing small wheels like 10 inch and with wide arches. do u just buy a wider set wheel or use spacers?

I think the reason them wheels stick out so far is because it has a vauxhall or honda engine in so it might make the track wider

heres mine sitting on 10 x 6 wellers.

Dan your mini is sooooooo nice and it shows me how far my wheels should stick out

10 INCH WELLERS ARE THE TITS

10x6 revolites


look at those door gaps, I need my body straightened.

and just bought some 10x5 alloy reverse rims in black with polished rims.
it's the 14 offset and not the -15 that clears 8.4 disks.

here are mine, not 100% sure what they are. they seem to be wolfrace slotmags, but next to a set they are slightly diffrent.
now saving for force racing 10's and these will be for sale!

Did some one ask for 10x6 mk2 cosmics with narrow grp2's


plus 10x5 mamba's


I've now got a set of slotmags to convert to splits by force racing (£62 a wheel at the mo), was wondering on width (either 6.5's or 7's), seeing racing greens is making drift to 7's, but has anyone got pics of a 6.5 with a road tyre on it?

[Snakeii]

some slotmags he cannot split, i would advise sending mr austin some pictures of the rim first , 6.5 and 7" are fine with road tyres well on A032's
