Maybe a little cutting, and screw them in... what size are your wheels exactly? 13x6? |

the car is not with me right now... but I think its stock rims but I dont really know why its coming out though... 
From the pic above it doesnt look like its coming out but in person its does like an inch or so Is Sportspack wider than group 5? I dont want too wide flares for me I think it looks out of place... |

If that's your car, what you have on it are Innocenti flares already.. Stock S flares are different. the front looks fine, so you must be running widened steelies at the back only then? Or maybe they are all widened and only the rear has spacer drums? Sportpack arches would be far too wide for them..Group5 is slightly thinner i think. it may just be a case of put non spacer drums on the rear to bring it in. |

sorry this is my 1st mini and still learning, I've been reading and I'm on page 250 of 411 of Mini Chat So I've got Innocenti flares...ok all wheels are sticking out so guessing all widened rims I remembered the tyre profile is 165/60/R10 Thanks for the pic Mini Mad I'm not really keen on cutting.... |

dont sweat it...your here to learn..a picture's worth a thousand words 
are you running disk brakes? or drums all round?...as i was saying before you may be able to change your drums to the non spaced type if that's what you have. Cutting is Ok as long as that's the way you know you want to go. The stock S flares as on my car would be no different to the innocenti ones on your car. A good thing about the ones on your car is that they are very cheap if you break or crack one.

Disc on front and drums at the back dont ask me what disc as I havent really had a closer look yet...  
how about WOOD & PICKETT flares? do you need to cut as well? a little expensive flares though If its gonna be complicated I might just get another set of wheels might be cheaper as well |

GRP5's are cheaper...sportspacks require modifications to fit properly on a clubby...i've actually never seen it done. GRP5's are probably too wide i reckon.. Measure from the bodywork how much the tire sticks out..you want it to JUST cover the tire, too much looks silly. |
