Is it possible for you to give a step by step on how to do those 15" rims?

Congratulations on the feature in Mini World Brad!


Thanks mate, it was a surprise but a good one when they asked to feature it.

I've currently got the gearbox out, going to fit an LSD and new clutch :D

I'm running 14x6 inch wheels, not 15's.

Wheels are 4x100 stud pattern. To do this I had the front wheel flanges and rear flanges/drums redrilled to a larger hole for thicker wheel studs @ 4x100. The new hole for the thicker wheel stud wipes out the old smaller 4x101.6 stud holes.

Tyres are 195/40/14 - rolling diameter is 511mm, as apposed to 505mm for 175/50/13. The extra rolling diameter isn't an issue, the same front guard cutting is needed, rear tubs are untouched.

That actually sounds pretty simple. Were there any things to be aware of? Tips and tricks?

Did you get done at a drag racing shop? Do toe 14x6 affect your turning circle? Do they rub? The same front guard cutting as for 13's?

I got the drilling done at a local engineering/metal fabricator shop.

Yes turning circle is not as good as it used to be but I've never needed to do a 3 point turn yet, still does a U turn on a 2 lane road no problem. They will rub on the inner wheel well if on full lock.... That has more to do with the offset of the wheels as I didn't want to fit large flares.

Yes same front guard trimming as the 13's.

They look awesome. I liked the first lot you had too. I wonder if with wider arches and a spacer if they wouldn't rub. But, being tight in like that looks awesome. Did you need to get an engineering report done?

Just a little update on my 993cc mini.

Took it to the Mighty Car Mods meet in Sydney on the weekend for some fun and the mini is offically a 14 second car. It now lives up to its original thread name :D It ran 4x 14.9 runs with the best being 14.90 at 93.9mph. It won 3 out of 5 races :shock:

Such a fun little car, drove the 3 hour round trip no issue at all.

Also I've now built a moke for summer. Only a 998 in this for now.

Sneak preview for the next mini project getting underway :D (11 secmini ?)

That's the B series CRV? You weren't tempted to use the K series?

Guessing awd n/a.

Correct, B series AWD running gear to suit my B16A Turbo engine i have lying around :D

K series seem to be a great platform, but Aussie laws say i can only put a 1.6L turbo in a clubman unfortunately.

Hey Ray, I will probably get a start on it over Xmas, will try to throw some updates on here when I can.

Have you still got the 4efte mini? hows it going after all these years?

Actually, that is just NSW rules really. Although it has ended up in the so-called 'national guidelines', they are just that - guidelines. So in SA at least, anything is possible with a proper engineers report.
