Hi there, i think i know the answers to this question but will ask anyway.

Is it possible to fit disk brake with standard 10' steel wheel and no wheel arches?

Yes, you need LS-offset Contessa's or a wheel with similar offset.. and then they'll only fit over Cooper S discs.

A standard steel wheel will fit over S disc brakes, LS narrow offset contessa hit the caliper, you need to attack the caliper with a angle grinders to get them to fit over them.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

the old cooper (not S) disc's have the same off-set as a standard mini.

they can be made to work very well with the newer types of break linings.

I'm looking at the same sort of thing - perhaps using the Cooper S replica Alloy wheels from Minisport - I think 165 tyres might be the killer though
