Hi all,

I have loved Mini's since I was a teen and finally purchased one a month ago from Japan. It's an 80 Rover Mini at least that's what the import docs have it. The guy I bought the car from said it was upgraded to '93 specs, 1.3 fuel injected engine.

If you don't mind, I have my first comment/question. I'm finding it difficult to locate 12 inch tires, any suggestions that won't break the bank? Or, does anyone know if I can put 13's on my car without too much trouble.

Thanks,
Priscilla

 

Welcome to NAM!

Have any photos? I'd love to see it.
Are you in the US, checkout the TireRack.com

 

Yes, I am in the US. The weather has been so crappy here in Seattle, WA she's been sitting in the garage for the most part. I have one photo I saved from ebay, won't have anymore until we have some true SUN. I will try to post it in a few, just need to figure out how to do it...

 

Okay, here's a photo of my car.

 

Tire Rack does carry 12" but I don't know the other dimensions to link it to you.

HAve you checked out the Classics section?

 

I'll have the hubby call Tire Rack, I'm horrible with all the technical stuff. Sure he'll make learn though.

I'm still looking at all the sections of the site, and will check with the folks in the classic section.

 

Great looking classic Mini. Welcome! Have you named him/her yet?

 

Actually, I haven't decided on a name for HER yet, it's between 'lil bit, babe or babe red.

 

Welcome to NAM. That is one fine Mini. Congrat's, I hope that you come up with a name soon, lil bit sounds really good.
Again welcome and good luck learning, I am sure it will be fun.
