as they say... if there is a will ... there is a way.

i have 10 x 6's on my van, only time you have an issue is on full lock going over a bump,ie into a servo for petrol. Otherwise there fine. You need decent sized arches to fit them under though

Yeah they do

I think they're Mini Offset (Doc?)

They're in line with the outside line of the body(barely). Only drama is if I have a passenger and fang into a roundabout or corner. The tyre comes up and rubs on the lip of the guard.




EDIT.......... that's fitted to stocko flatties drums, NOT spacered.

A friend of mine has 10x6 Minilite alloys on his Mini and yes they fit, and he is running Innocenti style flares. He didn't cut anything that I know of, just bolted them on. I don't know if 10x6 Minilites come in different offsets, unlike 10x5 Contessas.

Anto.

you sure they are not 5x10s? that size definitely fit if the offset is correct.

Differences to be aware of
4.5x10 is the standard size for early minis, and the offset for the UK Cooper S was different to account for the wider track of its disc brake front end. The rear drums on the Cooper S were made wider so that the offset on the wheels is the same front and rear. The Aussie Cooper S and later Clubmans fitted with flares from the factory meant a wider wheel and a different offset could be used.

If you have the narrow drums all round, and the wheels are 5x10 (which are fine for 165x70 tyres) with the right offset they will fit easily. You might just get away with 6x10 (which will use the same 165x70 tyres as the 5x10 wheel anyway).

Good luck

Only 10x6s I know about are GBs and Revolutions.

GBs are LS offset- so provided you use S type spacer drums or discs they fit OK without rubbing rear arms or shocks. Legal under Inno or S flares.

Revo's are Mini offset- Gareth_1330 has them- they stick out like dog's b**s if you use S spacer drums or S discs. But if you fit with Mini (flat) drums or Honda discs (without spacers) they would be legal under normal Inno or S flares.

Confused??:wink:

I just tried getting a Yokie A008 tyre fitted to my spare wheel. They told me that the wheel was barely 3.5 inches and the tyre needed a minimum of 4 inches. I'll have to get a piccie for ya hehehe. I reckon it could even be the original tyre, the hub cap doesnt have a mark on it.
