Those are C4 Corvette saw blades. You will need hub adapters to mount those.

Welcome to NAM.

Being in eastern NC, anybody ever suggested you "Go west young man?" Great roads over in the mountains and they are what the MINI was made for.

That is what I've been seeing....Also seeing a LOT of folks discouraging using spacers/hub adapters....I love the look of the wheel but I've had really bad wheel/fitment issues in the past with other vehicles and am not sure I'd be In a hurry to go through those again! Nothing like having to completely rebuild front ends 'cause I wanted to look cool! lol thanks again!

I've owned MINIs since 2003 and always check in with Alex at TireRack for advice. He's their MINI wheel and tire expert.
