before anyone jumps in and says u Fuskwhitt they are the same, late model metros were 4x100 rather than 101.6PCD . so my question is, can late model metro hubs be fitted to a mini so that the stud pattern changes to 4x100, is this what you did jan ? if not how did u do yours? thanx guys n gals

Most tyres places will explain how it is done. They make a plate that has your stud pattern on one side and this bolts onto your studs with regular wheel nuts and then the other side has the stud pattern that you want. Then your wheels bolt onto the new stud pattern with your wheel nuts.

Sorry If I'm not too clear but it's not hard.

crap.. I dropped off my brand new 12" Superlights and tyres to the guys place thats rebuilding the engine.. and installing the Metro brakes... and didnt check if the wheels fit the studs...

crap

ended up getting brand new rotors ($72 each, thought that was excellent), picked one up, looked at it... put it back in the box... just assumed it will be the same as the Mini stud pattern....

crap

hope it is... :wink:

Sorry to bring an old topic back up... Just wondering how much I'd be looking at to get these conversion plates made?
