r53 spacer question?

Hey everyone. I just bought some new wheels for my 2003 MCS, and I know from lurking around here and there, the bolt sizes changed for the r56. I found some spacers on craigslist for 2009-2011 MINIs in 12mm. How would I fit these on my car? With a conversion kit? Thanko mucho!

I believe the 12MM fit all MINI's up to manufacture date of July 2006.....Basically begining with the GP they switched to the 14mm lug bolts.

But as far as bolt "holes" go. We use conical bolts. I had GP wheels and they bolted up AOK. Currently using Black Crown Spokes from a 2010 Clubman and sold my original S-lites to a guy who installed them on his 2009 Clubman....

So in many or most cases, wheels fit both ways.

Pattern is 4x100.
