Hi everyone, firstly, search did not reveal much :D

Amongst other things for my mini, I've ordered the ultralite 12x5 wheels and tyres from minisport. The car currently has 12x5's on it with a wheel spacer (hotwires or something I think, don't know the offset). They look OK width-wise. Does anyone have a mini with similar flares and the same wheels (12x5 ultralite) and could post a picture? Don't know whether to change the order for 5.5" wide or not, want a nice stance but within the flares. Cheers!

Here's the answer to my own question, I ended up getting the ultralite 5.5x12's from minisport with falken tyres. They look awesome, I've only got the back assembled so far, but they just sit within the flares and the offset and dish on them looks great. Hopefully this can help someone thinking about the same wheels, had I gone the 12x5's they would have looked funny with the flares on and sat in too far I think.

$578 for the wheels and $180 shipping with their special "save big on shipping deal" :roll:

I see you have a set of 12x5 wheels on Gumtree as you are going back to standard S wheels.

What size do you want the Minilites in?

Mat

I’m fairly sure that I have a set of 10x5 Minilites (new version) with good rubber that I am happy to see go to a good home. I just need to check the shed if you are interested.
