Hi all, will these wheels fit with 7.5' discs and innocenti black plasic flares?
I have heard that they may rub on the caliper but I that should be easy to fix with a grinder.
Cheers Pete

If they are the original steel rims (they look like it) and you're using standard mini 7.5" discs (no fancy calipers) then they'll fit over the brakes without any drama's . I don't know how wide the Innocenti flares are to know whether they'll fit under the flares or not though . I'd suggest looking in Australia for some before buying them overseas as the postage/freight could be scary ... |

Thanks sports850, I am currently running mini offset contessas with the flares and they are just legal. Cheers Pete |

I'd say these would stick a fair way outside then if the mini offset are just under the flares . These normally had an inch or so extra on each side when compared to standard cooper s rims . |

Well I guess I will not be getting wheels like that then. Cheers Pete |

Standard cooper s rims should be alright though , just not the reverse ones , keep an eye out , you never know what turns up . |

My mate has reverse S wheels on his S and they are legal with the stock S flares. Which are about as wide as Inno flares. But those wheels in your pic look wider than 4.5"..... |

Even the 3.5" standart-wheels fit over 7.5" S-discbrake. There`re only some early types which doesn`t. (But dunno if australian wheels are different...?) But even if the wheels rub on the caliper... I would do everything - but not grind it 
The inno-flares are as far as i remeber as wide as the standart-ones (plastik-type) are. If they do not fit, they will if you use a negative-kit
