Yes, you need LS-offset Contessa's or a wheel with similar offset.. and then they'll only fit over Cooper S discs. |

A standard steel wheel will fit over S disc brakes, LS narrow offset contessa hit the caliper, you need to attack the caliper with a angle grinders to get them to fit over them. Doogie |

the old cooper (not S) disc's have the same off-set as a standard mini. they can be made to work very well with the newer types of break linings. |

I'm looking at the same sort of thing - perhaps using the Cooper S replica Alloy wheels from Minisport - I think 165 tyres might be the killer though |
