www.plminishop.com/product-W-12001.htmlChoice Tyres Please Choose From Drop Down Box, comes fitted & balanced with 165-60-12 Tyres, nuts, L-Nuts Centre Caps, off set negative 7mm. this wheel package fits lovely with the sports pack arches. Looking at those to fit to our Mini, just wondering if we need to cut any bodywork away to fit those? Or if they will fit on a standard mini just fine.

im on 165 60 r12s.
they used to juuuusssst catch the front edge of the arch. (the rear edge of the front panel) you just need to either bend it out a touch or just leave it until the tyre wears it down a bit.
may be a different story with sportspack arches though.

Only 12x4.5 wheels (standard Rover Minilite style) fit without problems.
Any bigger and as Coedy said, body mods will be required.
Fitting 165/60x12 tyres can only cause problems on the rear and then spacers are required. But I've heard of loads of cases where spacers weren't needed anyway.

As long as your cones are not too worn then upto 12 x 5 will fit with no problems, We had the ones in the link (12x6) fitted on a previous car and they filled the sportspack arches nice, rear were fine but had to trim a small amount off the front arches. That sounds good to me, thanks a lot. Good to hear they fill the arches. |

Ah nice one! They do look good, Dad n I have just had a good look over that pic lol. We think we're fairly sold on the idea, like how they fill the arches and love the deep dish look. Best we start saving  I think I'll make Dad work a few Sundays  |
