I highly doubt it, they should fit fine.

Just make sure your flares cover the width or u'll find ureself being defected.

Why 6" wide?

You don't need wider than 5", and they are technically illegal.

Meeni, To run 12 x 6 there is no need to cut wings, but remember that you will need to fit arches ie wood n picket and also check the cost of tyres compaired to what you have now, upgrading the size of the wheel means low profile tyres which brings more costs, 12 x 5 is a great tyre wheel combo they handle very well, i think it comes under 12 x 165 these are a great ride and bring great handling going to 6 inch wide will make the steering a lot heavier and trust me its hard on the arms

where did you find 12x6 inch rims?? didnt think anyone in australia made them.

i dont know of em in aus either, can get em in england though, i have wood and pickets, i was just wondering if i should go 10 by 6 or 12 by 6, like, will the 7.5's stop me, cos since ive bought them people have been telling me they are sometimes a bit dodgey..??..

think of me if your selling them wheels (cosmics) meeni, all variations are available in UK but also as said check tyre availabilty in australia, you may not be able to get tyres and if so could be costly

The 7.5 should be fine mate heel drums are fine if you maintain them, i run single leading fronts and have trouble, but they dont stop like disc's you have to drive to the conditions mate, thats all, your driving a Mini, thats old, not a modern car that will stop in a second

Monaro

mate unless you have over 100hp@wheels and doing track racing alot the 7.5's will do fine on a street car. Some 10x6 wheels just went of ebay for $495, pretty good if you ask me.

Barracades old 13"s on my clubbie destroyed my flares.

The rears now consist of electrical tape to hold them together.

Back to running 10" rims until I get the ride height sorted out.

My Mate has the same troubles with his 13's but hey he is 170kg's and the suspension is a bit worn out to.

I have 5.5 x 12 Ultralites, Falken 165 x 60 and Monte Carlo flares from Northern Mini Parts( they were on my car when purchased ). With the standard front suspension I had to bend the lower front lip forward to stop them rubbing. I'm waiting to see what the clearance is after my height adjustement and wheel alignment as I now have 1.5 neg lower arms and adjustable radius rods.
