i cant decide on keeping those alloys or going for something else. Not sure if they suit. Maybe go for these bad boys. www.minisport.com/mini-spare-parts/info_STAR12_H.htmlI read somewhere that the arches need to be cut to fit 6x12 but is this true because the ones on there now are 5.5x12 and theres loads of clearance. Advice please |

i know my 6x12 needed to have the front panel/wing cut, i dont know of any one getting away with it, most people struggle to get a 5.5"s not to rub but its all down to offsets etc

Hmmmm......I was just going through all the old invoices that were given to me when i bought the car and it looks like both suspension cones were replaced "to allow new alloy wheels to fit". Well thats what it says. Does that make sence or did a garage con the previous owner :/

its known when the suspension sags with age that 5x12 can rub so they probably fitted new springs to jack the ride height back up to get clearance
