Within the first few days of driving the car it became immediately obvious to me that the tyres were absolute Ditch-Hunter 5000's (Kenda Kaiser) and had to go. The original wheels were 17x7j et48 with 205/45r17 tyres
I also hate big wheels on Minis, they make the ride feel so harsh and besides, meaty tyres look so much cooler!
I reasoned with myself that the saving in the price of tyres would justify buying new wheels in the long run (as if it took much reasoning) and started looking into wheel setup...
I started furiously trawling Mini owner groups on Facebook to try and work out the perfect fitment for my new wheels, I knew I wanted 15" wheels but what width and offset?
I then found this car...
The perfect fitment as far as I'm concerned 15x8j et28 with 205/55r15.
Now to find the wheels and tyres...
