Will 14" wheels fit over the brakes of a MC?

 

Nope, there's barely a sliver of space between the caliper and the insides of the stock 15" rims.

 

But the MINI 17's fit on a Miata. :smile: They look funny as all get out, and I didn't try to drive, but they fit.

 

It is REALLY tight between the calipers and the OEM 15" wheel.

A super-nice (ie forged and thus very thin) 14" wheel might fit. Afterall, not all 14" wheels are the same. The problem is, there aren't that many "nice" 14" wheels out there these days. Maybe look at Panasport of Real Racing wheels if you really need 14" wheels for some reason, and are willing to spend $1200 or so. I tried to fit some 14" wheels from our civic on the Mini, and there was no way in heck they were going on.

I doubt you will find any cheap 14" wheels that will fit, though. So if the motivation behind the question is one of budget, forget about it

 

I have 4 14"er's with snows for the winter. Thats what I was thinking.

 

I could muster up a custom brake kit for one though! Don't deter the man...

 

Are these wheels from the Miata in your picture? The center bore might be too small.

You can always try putting them on. I wouldn't be very optimistic about them fitting, though. Like I said, the 14's from our Civic weren't even close to going over the brakes.

Good luck

 

Those in the pics are 15"ers. I am not surpised that 14's won't fit, but I figured I would ask.
