Car Forum / MINI / November 200314" Wheels on a Mini???
Can this be done? Any pics anyone? seen 15's on a moke you could do it by removeing the rear subframe and makeing a new axle and tubing the rear i supouse > Can this be done? > > Any pics anyone? dont do it it looks bad and the minins handling goes out the window > seen 15's on a moke My Moke was on 14" steel wheels from a Morris Major, because when I built it I had a set with good tyres and I had no 13" tyres and only two 13" wheels. I also had a pair of 12" winter treads (for lower gearing) and a pair of 10" wheels for being really silly. But with a moke you don't need to make serious body mods to fit big wheels.

With a big wheeler Moke you don't. With a littlewheeler you need new rear trailing arms and a different transom. Chip from mini classic website has a set of 14inchers on his convertible, dunno how but no major mods were needed. jono -- Barspeed Mini`s - Devoted to the Classic Mini "Persisto Transverbero Adversum" Email - barspeed@hotmail.com The Rover Mini Se7en Register - http://www.geocities.com/minise7en2001/ Barspeed Mini`s - http://www.barspeed.co.uk/ Barspeed Mini`s Group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/barspeed Barspeed Classic Cars - http://www.geocities.com/barspeed3 If you have received this email in error please click below. http://www.nobodyhere.com/justme/nose.php3 > Can this be done? > > Any pics anyone? errr - WRONG - serious body mods are needed - ie cutting away substantial pieces of metal from both front and back arches. > Chip from mini classic website has a set of 14inchers on his convertible, > dunno how but no major mods were needed.

Ten-inchers are best; 12-inchers are acceptable; the 13-inch sportspack wheels are dreadful. They also look ridiculous.
