Wheel specifications?

[st3e]

Hey I no this may be a stupid question but Ive never been 100% sure what the correct wheel specifications are for the classic mini!!
I no its pcd 4x100 (thats right yeah?) and sizes but can any wheel thats 4x100 and the correct size (10 inch, 12 inch, 13inch) fit on the mini!?
I have cooper S brakes on, does that make a dif too??

Thanks in advance for any help! =)

4 x 100 is a metric patern found on most Jap vehicles, what you need is 4 x 4" or 4 x 101.6 (metric equlivent) mini spec
You are correct in your assumption that all 10" 12" and 13" wheels will fit you mini, especially with the Cooper S brakes fitted. It all comes down to the look and ride you want to achieve.

Ah ok thanks a million for that!! And whats all the 'et' stuff bout?? Is that how much of an offset there is?? Offsets the dish on the wheel isn't it??
Haha sorry bout all these questions never gotten my head round all this stuff!!

ET is the distance from the rim on the back of the wheel to the mounting face of the wheel.

Ah ok great thanks!! So 'ET -' would be from face of wheel to the front part of rim??

No. its from the back, then the ET is calculated as a + or - from the wheel centre line.

This illustration may help.
