I think they can fit but this involves running huge spacers and grinding away at the calliper which is NOT advised!

They don't fit over... More like fit next to with massive spacers which gives you a massive offset and skinny tyres, not a great combo... Save up your pennies for some decent brakes if you want it done properly.

But they're not 8.4" disks.

Extract from the linked page "This kit will convert your 8.4 disc set up to the Cooper S 7.5 discs to allow fitment of 10" wheels"

They will fit over the 8.4 disks, but not with the callipers fitted.

they will fit over the minisport 7.9 vented/grouved and 4 pot alloy calipers
the kit converts down from 8.4" discs
and that is so tight the stick on' balancing weights cant be used

Just get the 8.4 to 7.5 kit and a set of mintex m1144 pads or something of a similar spec as i have, if you really feel the need for 10" wheels. its really not worth the hassle as far as brakes are concerned, too dangerous to be tampered with.

i've got a modded 8.4" setup on mine that clears most 10's.

lots of work to do it though and not something i'd fancy doing myself! i bought them already done off a mate who i trust and used them on his grasser.

If you go for minisport alloy 4 pots (7.5), please be aware that not all 10" rims fit, I haven't encountered a style that doesn't fit yet though
