Hi-

I'm thinking of trying to get some r84s for my wife's '04 cooper (r50).

does anyone know if they will fit? i assume since the r84s are typically from an '06 s type (r53), it should fit...

thanks!

 

Yes, no problem.

 

Any wheel used from 2002-2006 will fit any R50 or R53 (excluding the JCW cars and there's a rumor some late 06 R53's had the new R56/JCW brakes on a non-JCW car). This means 15" Holies will fit an R53 and S-Heavies such will bolt onto a '50.

 

thank you so much miniconcarne and hemiheaded18!
the extra info from hemiheaded18 will definitely come handy in the future as well.
thank you!

 

The only thing to watch is supposedly some very late 06's came with the new R56/old R53 JCW brakes. Anything 2002-2005, you won't have issues. Again, as long as it's not a JCW car.

 

Just to stop the BS, the R 84's FIT over JCW brake, period. I have a JCW car with JCW Brakes and yes there is 4mm of clearance around the calipers with the r 84 wheel. I use the bloody wheels when I go up to Tahoe in the winter.

 

Edited. See following post.

In case anyone wants to know.

 

No Bloody spacers on these either ,Soooo!

 

Folks....trying to learn more about wheels for our late model 06 mini-cooper S. Can you tell me what the following designations mean (R, R84, R53), as used above.

Thanks.

 

The "R" code designation is a way of naming the wheels. Following-up on that. I read somewhere that there was a chart with all the MINI Cooper wheels, along with it's R-designation code and a photo. Does anybody know where to access that chart?

Thanks

 

FAQ: What original equipment wheels and tires are available?

 

Thanks MINIAC!

I'll have to print out that until I familiarize myself with the appropriate wheel "R-coding" !
