| Post subject: | Hi Lo's |
I have a standard mini with cooper s flares that I want to buy 12 inch rims for. I already have the tyres which are 70 series 165 wide(Dunlops bought for $50 each) and have been told that the front tyres will not rub but the rear tyres will. Just wanted to know that if I had 12inch tyres replacing standard 10 inch tyres without suspension modification and the tyres were 70 series will using hi -los, and jacking it up, will this solve the problem. Thanks |

No. The problem is the length of the rear trailing arm - not the height. Cheers, Ian |

165/70-12s are very high in the side wall, I think Josh (Mini Mad) had a drama with this size tyre on his Mini. Cheers Pete |

Cheers Pete Yes Josh bought some 165/70-12 A008s real cheap, we used Mr Anglegrinder so they would turn.. just!! 
They were fouling the outer bracket, not the arm- but it depends on what wheels you have. |
