They look very similar to the ones off Roofless's convertible. They won't stick out very far atall, so will look a bit funny if you;ve got wide arches

yea that was my second question, could they be used with other spacers as well to make them fill the arches? Also how hard is it to get hold of 13x5.5 tyres!

[mars red mike]

They will fit without spacers. They dont stick out very far at all as said, I used to have these wheels years ago and standard plastic arches covered them just nice.

Cheers mike,

Can i use spacers to make them sit nice with sportspack arches,

I kina like them because they have a new bini twist to them!

i'd watch out for them if i were you. the block has listed them as 108mm pcd but in the text they are 4". he obviously doesnt know what hes talking about

[trafficface09]

you probably dont want to put to big a spacer on them due to extra strain and possible damage. if you like them that much re think your cars looks wide arches arnt everything, i have learnt that wide wheels or spaced wheels need more work then they appear. check my topics for corect advice from others

[mars red mike]

The fronts should sit fine in sportspack arches depending on what tyre you have fitted. Mine are wearing A539's and look fine. At the back I used a 3/4 inch spacer and longer studs to fill the arches out.

[asmith88]

No i dont think hes too sure, thats why ive posted on here. He assures me they have come off a classic mini but were used with spacers

And im aware of the damage and upkeep spacers and 13" wheels need in gerneral, but im willing to suffer for looks! The sportspacks are more important to me than these alloys so if they wont look good ill scrap the idea.

Mike you would happen to have any pictures?

Not sure about the tyres though, no doubt you'll be able to get some pretty easily, but the usual yoko a539 175/50 probably won't fit, so you may have to get something with a bigger profile, this will make the wheels even bigger, not 100% though. roofless might be of better help, as dan said he has some very similar if not the same.

[mars red mike]

175/50 13 A539's will fit. Its what mine is wearing at the moment.

[george91]

Have you got a picture mike? would like to see what there like on 5.5" width.

[mars red mike]

These are my current wheels, same size and brand as the ones above wearing A539's
