14s will fit without too much work, but i wouldn't advise going for this size due to the wear and tear on the mini.

you'll end up eating wheel bearings and the A series engines don't like the strain put on them by the big wheels.

i would advise maximum wheel size of 13"x7".

hope that helps

i agree with urban the 13x7 should be the max u put on a mini, and even they put strain on the engine!! also who likes the 10" wheels? how cool do the revo's look?

What would be the best tyre size for 10" wheels. @ the mo i have 10" revo's but there only 5" wide could i beef them up a bit with some decent boots or would i be better off getting them in a 6" version.

better geting the wider version i would hazard a guess at!? because the extra width in the tires might make it a bit unstable, maybe not..

as long as the wheels normal size is 5" then 6" shoudlnt be much of a problem, u see all the jap cars having wider tyres at the back for better grip :)

get then 6" revos, tho putting bigger width tyres on is ok, you will notice more tyre wall role on corners, wich doesn't feel very nice and compromises grip...
