Hi guys.

I need some help on trying to make out what size wheel & tyres are on this mini that has been posted by dan_up in a previous post. I am planning on swapping my 7x13 ultralites for something along this size. To me they look like 12's or 13's ???? Can't decide on the width & tyre sizes. I like the way these sit from the arch.

Any help on this or if the person that owns the car frequents this place?

Cheers.

tyre tread pattern from where he reversed and the sidewall shape and lack of heavaly visible tread on the front, the fact they are not to bulged ruled out avon tyres and slicks are bigger lol. :)

sorry gents, not been on here for a while as been away.
Paul R is absolutely spot on with his observational skills! (although i am slightly worried my mini isnt still in my garage at home for you to know that much detail!! lol)

they are 13x6 superlights on the tyres paul worked out. arches are standard mayfair type ones (think they were called mini special arches or something from mini spares) they are usually like a matt black plastic grained type finish but mine have been expertly smoothed and painted by Nic (ok abit of filler primer and some thick paint!) so they are quite sniny now and body coloured *smiley*
