I'm considering fitting Ultralite 6x10 deep dish rims to my Mini.

I've been searching thru the ausmini archives but couldn't find the answer to my specific question: how far will I need the flares to protrude in order to keep it legal? Is 3" too much? (Keep it clean Cush! :roll: :lol: )

And I guess the follow-up question is what flares would suit that are available?

You should be fine with the wide Cooper S type.

Are these the "Cooper S" type sold by the likes of Minisport, or are they a different type?
