Hi!

I fitted Minilite 4.5x10 wheels with 165/70 tyres to mini and noticed that at the front comes tyres 1" out of fender. What can be wrong because wheels are Cooper s offset and I supposed that I don't need wheel arches??

Thanks

Juha

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

The cooper s disc set up has less track, not that much though

Also, as Nic said.

And, I didnt think you could get a 165 tyre on a 4.5" wheel????? I'd be looking for a Dunlop 145.

Edit: Sorry, Dunlop no longer make a 10" tyre

165 is no problem on 4.5" inch rims. I am running 165 wide 032RS on my 4,5" minilifes.

Are you 100% sure you have CooperS offset wheels?

If they are truly CooperS offset the mounting face will be not far off level with the outer rim.

they did do 4.5" wheels with the correct S dish, but they go for 300-400 a set.

Toms statement holds, if they are S dish the mounting/centre must be very near level with the outer rim. If there is a dish you have the wrong wheels.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie
