G'day All, A quick question, what is the maximum wheel size I could put on my '78 Clubby without having to cut the wheel arches? I ask because at the moment I can get a set of 13"s for about 300 bucks cheaper than I can find 12"s... Has anyone had 13s done? how do they look? |

The late model mini rovers came stock with 13"s from what I can remember, but with a clubby depends what size 13"s by? One thing I don?t like about them they get stuck in every ditch on the road makes ride bumpier. But look really hot. |

Quite a few mini's run 13" rims...i think 13x7 is about the limit..i don't think performance have never done an 8" wide rim for a mini as far as i'm aware, they make them, but as for anyone having them on a mini???... As for body mods, you may require a little bit of arch cutting but nothing major. Just make sure the rims are designed for a mini and the correct offset and PCD.. |

Personal opinion, I think the 13"s look too big on a Mini. I'd get 12" wheels, which are still big enough for 8.4" discs. |

13x5.5 wheels with "165" tyres can fit under UNMODIFIED wheel arches, but the ride height may need to be lifted slightly at the front (to allow for clearance when steering). I have seen these fitted to a clubby with "S" flares on it... and the guards were NOT cut. My 13x6's with 175/50/13 tyres will not clear the unmodified guards at standard ride height, but MIGHT with raised suspension. My 13x7's with 175/50/13's DEFINATELY wont fit unmodified guards. I tried on some 13x7's with 225 slicks - they didnt fit under Sportspack arches - even with chopped guards!!! But it all depends on the offset of the wheels, and the type of brakes you have too.... |

What a hassle, I'll go with 12s  (The 13s where by 8, and the pic mini mad posted scared me ).
Welll, since that rules out my cheap source, where in Sydney is a good place to pic up a set of 12 mags? (and maybe even disc brake conversion gear too )
