Hi there,

Newb question, okay my buddy is selling his old school 15X7 Momo Idea wheels for $250. It's off his 96 Honda Civic. I've read that you can use the Honda Civic spare tire for the Mini Cooper, same 4/100 bolt pattern. But there was some speculation that the spare tire might not clear the brakes? Would that be the case for just normal wheels?

Your input is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Randy

 

Nope, you should be good. You should have plenty of room with normal 15x7 4x100 wheels..

 

Wow! Thanks for the quick response! Titeness! Then I'll pick these up then! Thanks again!

Randy

 

Tires might be a little small, And awalys test fit your wheels But you should be fine..

 

Thinking of getting those BF Goodrich G-Force everyone is talking about. I want fat tires so I wanna go for 225/50/15... Thanks for your help! I appreciate your input.

Randy

 

Eeks! For some strange reason, it doesn't seem to line up. I googled the bolt patterns for 95 Civic and 02 Cooper and yup it's the same 4X100. Can anyone shine some light?


Randy

 

It should bolt right up no issue at all..

Keep us posted...

 

I got one bolt on but I couldn't get the rest of them in... is there anything else that might be different like I dunno front wheel is different from the rear wheel? Sorry I'm a newb...

 

nope, there is no difference between the cars.. Bolt pattern is the exact same..

Just get one bolt in and the others should follow right behind...

 

And the Answer is on post 15... HUB SIZE! I'll let everyone know if I get get these fitted. Might have to get them machined or get a hubcentric ring...

I do not get it... The Honda Civic has the same "hub size" 56.1 as the Mini Cooper...

Do the bolts line up?
Does the wheel fit onto the hub?
