The previous owner of you mini already tried to put 13x7" wheels on the Mini and they didn't fit and he had to send them back and get the wheels that are currently on it.

Yeah. I knew that. But I don't know WHY they didn't work. I wouldn't think it's my flares... I could only think that it would be the actual fenders not being trimmed enough. I REALLY wish there was someone near my location that would lend me a set for a day or two just to figure out the fitment issues. I wouldn't need to drive on them.. I wouldn't really even need all four. Just need one so that I could see where the bind is.

What do you think the issue could be? I have 13x6's on it right now, and there seems to only be a little rubbing on 3/4 left turns.. I need to roll the fenders under the flares.
