Hi,
does anyone know if there is a listing of what rims will fit these calipers. I know that mine won't. :cry: I had a look on the minispares site but could find a listing of which ones will...

Thanks,

If these are the alloy ones, I use miniator 10x6" rims which work for me. I think 10x5.5" will fit but haven't checked. The calipers can also touch on the suspension arms depending on your setup too.

Hi Rob,
do you fit the 10x6" rims under your flares as I'm going to need to get a roadworthy on this one, so want to have my bases covered.

10x6 sounds pretty neat though.

Thanks.

Affirmative, no 10" steelies admitted to the party under any circumstances. 12's may, but I haven't tried any...

Slowly slowly, just getting it running properly and fit for RWC at the moment. You're welcome to drop by any time, bring the family for dinner ;)

Happy to submit as a test-dummy for fitting wheels over the MS 4-pot alloy calipers ;)

My 12x5 minilite rims fit easily (and don't require arch-cutting to fit) so these are a good solution for road circumstances. 10x6 will definitely need flares, I have small 1.5" flares at the moment and 3" flares at the ready. They don't appear to be too far out but that's only because of the camber i'm running =)
