13"?????

Look at this:

I don't sell them. I plan on bidding. Don't know if modifications are needed
to the car if I get them. I don't want to modify the car in any way as it's
all original as it came out of the factory. All I want is a spare set of
wheels.

Can anyone comment? Is this possible? Where can I get those tires?

Thanks,

R

Thirteen inch wheels need a bit cut out of the front arches at least.
The wider they are, the more problems, and these are 7" wide.

The usual size of 12" tyres for a mini is 175/50 x 13.

Yokohama, Dunlop, Bridgestone and probably others make that size.
Pirelli used to make a P7F that size, may not be available now.

The tyres will fit 6" and 5.5" wide rims too. But still need to cut front
arches.

Thanks very much. I didn't buy them, although I admit they look very good.
Just don't want to modify my car at all.

Cheers,
