you could prob fit 14'' whells with id say 40profile tyres but because of there width you would have to cut a bit of the front gaurds maybe but i dont really know :? also the PCD would have to be right as most 4 stud cars are 100mm pcd where a mini is a little differerent something like 103mm but im not exactly sure

:wink:

What's wrong with good old 10" Minilites?
14" will make the Mini look 'unmini-ish', won't it?

Anything is possible

14" is the largest I have heard of for a street machine but there are plenty of examples of special "unique" vehicles being built over the years. Some of the 4x4 conversions are quite imressive.

Technically the limiting factor would be the distance between front and rear wheels. Just stick all the wheel out past the body line and you can get any size you want up to the point where the fronts rub on the backs :lol: [not saying you could get it resistered like that LOL]
