Is it possible for us to run AUDI,VW, or Benz wheels on our f56s ?
I heard that the center bore will be different but we could always buy center rings to offset the gap. Has anyone done this before ?

 

Yes. But. You need to be careful. I bought some Rials with snows but tried them on in the sellers driveway to be sure. Large Audis have a bigger centerbore (73.1?) and need centric rings. Smaller Audi and VW have smaller hub and not convertible. Mercedes are same bore but lots of the wheels are just too large or staggered ie different size front and rear..

 

You have to watch ball seat vs. conical also. Most VW/audi are ball seat wheel bolts. MINI has conical.

Check out our list here which we took some common aftermarket wheels and fitted them to F55+ MINIs. Some are aggressive and noted.
