SusieQ Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Quick question while I'm at work and researching.... 1992 Rover Mini, my current tire size is 10". I want to stay at 10", but want wider tire/wheel. Does anyone know if 10" X 8" would work and where the best place to order them is, to include installation to ensure it's correctly done with any spacers, etc. etc. and etc.? Thanks for any info in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1975_mini Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 10x8 are really wide, what are the offset on the ones? factory standard 10s were 3.5 wide with an option for 4.5. Most after market wide wheels (minilites, mambas, etc...) are 10x6 on classics and you will require fender flares, but having a 92 yours like has flares. Can you provide a link the the wheels you are considering? 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieQ Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 Yeah I knew it was less than 4”. A coworker that’s been helping me work on it told me they were 6”, which I knew was completely wrong. I was looking at 6” initially. Here’s the 8”’s, but they are 13”’s. https://www.motortrend.com/features/1306-1964-austin-mini-cooper/ And I’ll have to inspect mine when I get home, I just don’t want the standard itty bitty wheels.

And they have small flares on the fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1975_mini Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Awesome, They moved to 12" on 90's Minis. They are a lot easier to find then 10" 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
