Will web spokes from a 2006 mini cooper fit into my R56??? Do they have the same bolts???? Thanks

 

I'm more concerned about the TPMS sensors fitting or not...i've heard the bolts should fit fine...i'll find out about the bolts on monday for sure when I test fit them. But the TPMS sensors I was hoping someone else could tell me for sure.

 

If the donor '06 model is a late 2006, the wheels might fit. In the middle of the manufacturing year, they increased the size of the lug bolts and the larger ones won't fit in the smaller holes. I think that Texas Speedwerks makes a 14mm to 12mm conversion stud kit, so you could buy those and lug nuts to use your 12mm drilled wheels on a car with 14mm bolt holes.

If your R56 is an early enough model, you might not even have the TPMS sensors, from what I understand, so it might not be an issue...

So the answer to your question: Maybe!

 

I'm gonna test fit the wheels on monday on my 2008 MCS to verify bolt fitment. I was just told by the dealer service dept and parts dept that the TPMS sensors WILL fit in the older webspokes...but i'm still not 100% believing that...

EDIT: So at the least on monday I can let you know about whether the wheels themselves will fit or not. That'll be a confirmed answer for that one.

 

Ok thanks colin I will wait for your results

 

Well the webspokes fit perfect, no issues whatsoever on my 08 MCS. The TPMS sensor compatibility...that is still unsolved. But the wheels themselves bolt up fine and fit great. The previous owner had them on an 06 or older R53 as well, so i'm pretty sure they were originally off of an R53.

 

Ok the news is in. It's official the Webspokes I bought that were on an 06 or older R53 DO have the notches for the TPMS sensors. The wheels bolt onto my 08 R56 Cooper S and after having the tires dismounted they do in fact have the provisions to mount TPMS sensors no problem! Good news for fellow R56 owners who want some webspokes...i think lol. Just figured i'd pass along the news.

 

That would be a yes!!

 

Another short answer is the web spokes holes are larger than 14.125 mm allowing 12 (older) or 14mm (newer) bolts.

BTW All Sportmax aftermarket wheels also have the larger bolt holes for July 06 and newer Mini's, but qite a lot of others do not.

 

Nice wheels! I've got those too. (came with my 06 MCS when I bought it).

You still on the RFT's, or did you go with non RFT's?

 

I'm on Pirelli Eufori@ RFT's now since I removed the spare tire assembly on my Cooper.These webby's came off my former '05 MCS.
