I was wondering if you could get 15inch rims engineered in the ACT for my clubman? |

If you want big wheels, get a normal car. 15s, you have no hope in hell. Spaceboy made a valid point. Spaceboy wrote: dont do it

Mini's were designed on 10" wheels, the bigger you go the worse things get |

12's are a more reasonably choice. |

The trouble with 15's would be physically getting them to fit , mad mk1 (I think) has 14's on his mini and there's bugger all room between the tyre and subframe at the rear (there was an angle grinder involved I think  ) , as for the front I doubt they'd fit without hitting the firewall and nose panel . Stick with 12's or 13's if you want the big wheel look .

15" wheels will fit quite easliy, I don't know why everyone is saying otherwise. The wheels will fit on, it is the tyres that give the problems.

In keeping with the original question, even if you could get them to fit, which I doubt, I don't think you could get them engineered. Technically speaking 13" wheels need an engineers certificate in the ACT - that would be according to the same people who require you to get an engineers certificate for a 1275 and disc b'rakes.
