Hey all,
Not sure who's car it was or if they are on here but at the mini show last year there was a gold 1275 LS with 13 inch superlites on it. It had standard flares and didnt look like any body modifications had been done and cant remember if they were 5.5 wide or 6 inch. Any help here would be much appriciated. Even if anyone has photos of any mini fitted with 6 or 5.5 inch superlites.
Cheers in advance
James

The performance challengers in 13x5.5" will fit without mod. If the superlites were the same size and offset, then should be fine.

!'ve see a silver 1275LS on the same 13 x 5.5 Performance Hotwire rims I have on my Moke and they fitted without flares. I think the tyres were an oddball size, something like 165/60R13?

Cheers,

13 x ? I didn't take very good photo, I'm unable to see rim width on this one.

Hope this helps.

I don't think any of the above cars have standard flares on them, they're all wider or aftermarket.
