Right.
So bit of a change in wheel choice with the Deluxe.
I'm thinking of getting those 10x6 Minators.

Would Cooper S WIDE Flares cover these?

And if so, where can i buy these WIDE flares from?

Thanks.

I think even the standard rover type innocenti ones will do the job, and most flares are wider than that. I take it the metros didn't last long?

Metros are still here.
An investment :lol:

Innocenti flares... nope these are 6" wide.
Innocentis only just cover 5" wide wheels.

Well the flares I bought for my car are monte carlo ones.
They are 2.25 inches wide.
I don't remember the width of standards, but they are less than 2 I know.

10x6 (except revo's) usually stick in 1" more than 5s do, so not much different outside rim pos'n..
10x6 GBs fit legal under S flares, for example.

Ferk i might just have to buy the wheels, then see what flares are needed.
But by the sounds of it, i'll still be right with my original choice of flare - the standard Cooper S type. :D

depends on wheel type, the ones your looking at are deep dish, they can be covered by innocenti flares but that would be borderline legal, my wood and pickets go over 6x10's perfectly, there are heaps of different style arches in that width, have a look at some english mini suppliers, they have crap loads of them!

I am going to have to go with the 10x5 wheels with the Deluxe, as i still want to keep the Cooper S standard width flares.
Ben sent me some pics of 10x6 minators and innocenti flares, and they stick out way past the flare.
And i reckon they'd still stick out past Cooper S WIDE flares.

No good.

10x5 it is.... Image
