Anyone know what this is on a Mini wheel? Anyone have measurement to hand (google didn't help!) or a wheel they could measure? Assuming 10", 12" and 13" will all be the same ...

 

TIA

they don't really state the figure as wheels are not fitted by a bore. (not concentric fitting).

I have 2 sets of Revolution wheels 6x12 rim, there are 5 different sizes of centre

[gazza82]

Why I asked .. a fellow member of the A30/A35 Owners Club bought a set of 13" "Mini" alloys (not sure of make) which were correct PCD but don't fit over the front hubs .. I can't get to my Midget Minilites to measure them (don't ask!) but I would have thought that the hubs were slightly larger on a Mini due to fwd design than the A3x/Spridget style.

 

I was trying to confirm he'd bought Mini wheels and not 4" PCD wheels for some other classic ... but if Revolutions come in different sizes there may not be a standard "hole" ..

 

 

PS I suggested some thin spacers ..

I've just measured the diameter of one of my plastic centre caps (12 inch Superlights) and its 65mm, where it fits into the wheel bore.

running disks ?  if yes it looks like the kits use a center bore fitting like the metro which is too big for most mini wheels.

looking at some Drum setups they also look like the have a similar issue. most Mini wheels will not fit.

[gazza82]

No he's still got drums ... which sound like they may be larger diameter than Spridget disc hubs.

[nicklouse]

the hub stick out through the drum/disc may more than the mini. that will be the issue.

Unlike many cars, Mini wheels are centralised by the wheelnuts and not on a central spigot, therefore the centre hole can vary enormously.

I know my MWS Minilights fit over the Midget discs on my A30 - but I think I've told you chum that elsewhere.
