Question about a wheel. Will this fit?

I really like these, in my opinion very old school mini and with a drop and some stretch can look very euro. Now, I know next to nothing about wheels and fits, so I was wondering: would these fit on my R50? What kind of tire should I look for on these?

According to the Cragar site there is no 4x100 application. One could use an adapter but all of the offsets offered are not even close. This wheel is for rear wheel drive cars.

Man, I knew it looked too sweet to fit. Thanks for the quick reply gnatster. I'm not very well versed in wheel and tire fits, so I just figured I'd ask just in case. Any ideas if any company made something similar that might fit? I dig the "dish" look of those a whole lot.

You could try here maybe, http://www.stocktonwheel.com/smoothies_wheels.htm

Also, I did a google search for smoothies and got quite a few nice hits.

Bolt Pattern is 4x100
Hub Bore is 56.1mm
Offset depends on some variables but figure 38 - 45 or so just to get you in the ballpark.

Awesome, thanks so much. Finding the right wheels has been probably the hardest thing so far on my MINI. and the decision of whether to go regular or with some poke/stretch. Still deciding if I'd like that look on Space Blue or not, it's proved to be a hard color to work with.

Miss my old Mellow Yellow.
