I dunno how well these wheels are gonna fit Hondas- somebody better check before spending all their dosh..
Probably just means spacers are needed whereas the ones on Mini Mad's car will fit without. Diameter wise should clear but we better check.. eh Anton...??? :?

OK, it's not really that hard to understand is it...

These rims are S offset. Cooper S's had spaced drums on the rear and an equivalent track with the front discs.

So the Tempe Tyres rims are designed with this in mind. Therefore you need the same track (front and rear). If you dont have stepped drums, you will need them or spacers.

Because Honda discs are a grey area and non standard, there is a little confusion as to whether they will fit.

Kev, I will come around Sat morning (as mentioned) with a rim to try out on one of your Mini's running Honda's :lol:

That will sort it all out. :mrgreen:

EDIT: from the look of miniVan's van, they fit perfectly with spacers and flares, as per Cooper S's.

these rims will fit honda discs with a 5-6mm spacer as they just fowl the inner weights inside the wheel.

nah sorry dewey.. this is how i bought it.. will be wikkid when i'm done.. ive only had this girl for about a month.. getting her running sweet first
(also i have to finish painting the gf's escort first)

shes already got extractors so all ive done so far is put new stepped drums all round, mags, double row timing chain, oil seals and engine mounts.. have a pulsar dizzy ready to go in now and a dellorto sitting in the shed.. then the hondas (preferably the accord vented)
