I was just wondering if there are any 10 inch mags that will fit over 8.5 disks as i currently have 12's but want to go back to 10's

There's some for sale through minisport/spares in the UK...

They don't exactly fit OVER 8.4 inch discs... but they're offset completely out from the wheel...

_________________

No 10" wheel will fit OVER 8.4" discs/calipers, it's just not possible.

As Cush says, you may find some with crazy offset which go 'next to' the calipers, but I don't think they'd be a good idea, they'd eat your wheel bearings in no time.

With those brakes, stick to 12"...

Heh....I'll let you know in a couple of months how the bearings are holding up

I thought i read in mini-world a few months ago that they have developed a cooper s style 10 inch wheel that will fit over 8.4 inch brakes (they were whit/cream), They are fairly new thing.

I think I know of the wheels you are talking about. I was reading the latest MW last night and if you read after that it says that flares will be needed (or "wheel arch extensions") so that says to me they have a bloody big spacer built into them. I haven't actually seen them so I could be wrong.

Does anyone actually have some of these wheels?

Well, read sgc's post, then read mine.......

I took it as you had 10" wheels that were spaced out to clear the brakes, thus the need for the wide flares (not the particular wheels from the UK).

I didn't think that your car would have stock looking 'Cooper S' steelies on it. It looks more like a car that would have Revo's or somthing.

Scroll to bottom. There's a couple of small pics of the brakes next to 10s.

^-- yep, that's the only way it's going to happen

Yeah I read it. I was wondering if anyone actually had the same wheels as mentioned in mini world, not just regular 10" wheels spaced out to clear 8.4" brakes.

It's all too hard, don't worry about it.
