winter wheels for stop tech brakes.

So ahh... I need some all seasons for my mini... i was planning on picking up a DD car before the winter months hit... but alas financial situation won't allow that.

So i need a wheel for cheap that will fit over my stoptech's. I've got 5mm spacers up front.

My question is... can I get a stealy that will fit over them? or will i just have to buy some cheap pos. I'm kinda at a loss for what I should do.

I am however, pretty sure I can't make it through the winter on my oz ul's and pilot exalta pe-2's. Maybe i should just get some pro race 1.2s for track use next year and get some cheapy all seasons to mount up for winter.

any ideas?

Look in the Marketplace forum and you can find a lot of people getting rid of stock MINI wheels for cheap. As long as you know which stock wheels clear, you get an original look, and you know they fit.

I don't know that any stock wheels clear Stoptechs.

my suggestion is to ping Alex at Tire Rack. He'd be able to tell you for sure
