I just got my wheels and tires mounted on my Mini. Really like the look. To me it relates back to the old school Mini. Let me know what you think.

 

I like, great pictures. What brand are the wheels and if you don't mind where did your order them? Looks like a set of kumho tires. What is the actual 205/15? Nice to have all the details.

Your MINI keeps good company.

 

the wheels are Sport Max Racing, found them on Ebay. The tire are 205/50/15.

 

Looks great....DEFINITELY needs lowering though

 

Hmmm, smaller wheels on the new MINI, but larger wheels on the old Triumph...

Not so into it, personally, but it does give you the old-school teeny tire look.

 

+1, i was gonna say, that would look kinda like Rally's when lowered.

 

Thanks I think it looks good. Good info. No need for spacers right?

 

no spacers required and no tire rub. the ride feels much smoother and more responsive after replacing the run flats.

 

How wide are they? If you were to lower the car would they rub.

 

HAHAHA 69,,,,Ok im done

 

What's funny? He always finishes on top.

Nice look - does look old school.

 

the wheels are 8" wide with a +15 offset or 4 3/8" back space.

 

Can you lower the car and the wheels not rub with that offset?

 

My front wheels are the exact same specs and my car is lowered a lot on coilovers. You have to run camber and do a lot of trimming....but not too much rubbing here.

 

I really dig the fat 15s. Good choice to go with the classic look.

 

Thought they looked familar. Same ones im running but with 225/50/15. Oh and when i run in the SM class I also run car Number 69

 

What's up with the Triumph in the background? Does it have something sticking out of the hood? Is it a 6 or 4 - or something unholy?

 

Looks as though you are running the higher offset, correct? Can't tell from that angle

 

The TR is my baby I've had scence 71 it has a Ford 408 stroker motor tremeck 5 speed 9" rear coil overs etc....and has P335/35R17's on yhe rear.

 

Bassles are you from the DC area? If so are you going to that Mini meet at Union Jack's on Sunday in Bethesda? I just moved to the germantown area and saw that there is a meet this Sunday. I would like to see your car in person so i can get a idea if i want to go that same route.

 

Where can I find information on the Union Jack's meet?

 

same offset .. except mine are only 15x7 not the 15x8. hey at 75 each new I couldnt pass them up

 

Here is a link to the info.https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=110516
It on this site in the club and regional forums under DC metro minis forum. Sounds like a good little meet. I wanted to go to meet so new people and talk minis so it's sounds like the right place to go. Anyways hope to see you there. Can't miss my mini i think i'll be the only blue mini with NY tags.

 

I don't think they sell the 15x7's in the same offset. His are offset of 15 and the 7's only appear to come with an offset of 38

 

your right like in Bassles ealier post there a +15 vs my +38 .. the 15x7 have 1.5" lip while the 15x8 have a 3" lip and the extra offset to cover the difference
