F55/F56 Base Cooper with 7.5" wheels
Yep, exactly. I hunted all over the web for them too, couldn’t find them. Yes those adapters are the key... but I hesitate to say you can use the stock bolts, because the adapters add 2-3mm of spacing. The calculation for 14x1.25 bolts shows you should have at least 9 turns of engagement. Dunno if you’ll get that without longer bolts. I went ahead and ordered slightly longer bolts from ECS. I believe when I did a test fit I was indeed a turn or two short with OEM bolts.

Can you link me to the bolts you bought from ECS? Please. I appreciate your info and replies.

I went 33. Though now I’m not sure why I chose that over 30, as the stock are 28 I think. Oh well, more threads is good, as long as it doesn’t bottom out. 33 should be fine.

Thanks. I must have posted as soon as you did. I went with the 33mm as well. I chose that for a "just in case".

"I also got bolts from ECS that are like 2-3mm longer, since these are about that thick, but I don't know how totally necessary that is"
I would go for that bolts from ECS 3,5 turn you need minimum to fix a wheel

But yes, we all agree, add longer bolts when using these adapters =)

Went to have wheels installed today and the TPS sensors I ordered from ECS are too long. They hit the wheel (outer circle going around spokes; not the lip of the wheel), and they cannot air up the tire. Does ANYONE know where I can get short valve stem TPS sensors that will work with the F56 Mini?

If the OEM TPS sensors will work, I will just take them out of my stock wheels/tires and throw the new ones in them. But do you know for sure if the stock ones will will work, or are for sure shorter?

They just said I'd need shorter TPS sensors, but I've never seen nor come across shorter TPS sensors. These are short.
