I doubt innocenti/rover flares will cover 13 x 6 wheels! Late Rover Sportspack Minis ran 13 x 6 rims and had wider flares than the innocenti ones.

Yes, you will probably have to cut the front guards. There is instructions on how to do this in the tech letters of just about every Miniworld or Mini Magazine issue.

there is also a template floating around the net that has measurements etc for cutting the arches. I believe you can actually buy them for a few bucks are certain mini places.

A mate of mine fitted a set of 13 x 5.5 on his clubby and did not need to cut the arches and is using the mayfair balck plastic arches.

He is happy with the setup and no problems with it either.
