Would mini rims fit the seicento

I'd like to put on 12'' but 13'' seems to be the most common size for these rims.

Seems to me that mini mini lites are 4 × 100

The seicento is 4 × 98. Does that mean I'd need a sprigot ring to make up the 2 mm ??

Depends which era of "Mini" you are talking about.

Original classic Mini used 4x4" PCD
Later changed to 4x100mm but with a 56.1mm centre-bore (ie too small)
Even later changed to 5x112mm, which obviously won't fit!

I fitted 13 by 6 I think they were I will try n dig photos out but they do fit

Everybody has been quoting the actual BOLT HOLES , that secure the wheels to the car


I'm assuming you are quoting 13" Rim DIAMETER x 6" rim width..

there is a huge range of 4 x 98 PCD wheels available,

choose a style you want in the correct form for 4 x 98 hubs

the central bore is also important to support the wheels weight, taking some stresses from the 4 mounting bolts.

if 13" you can get PCD converter made about £200 it will cost, which will convert from 4x98 58.1 CB to whatever you need

Obviously that depending on the ET of the wheels, say ET40+ as the PCD converter needs to be 20mm think or so.

While the wheel and tyre combo fitting in the arch and not fouling suspension parts etc. would depend on the offset of the wheel. Iv ran with wobble bolts for over two years without issue.

An yeh ycming, 18mm is the thinnest for the hubcentric spacers.

Yes 13" rim by 6j and pretty sure they were 4x98pcd it was along time ago when I had them fitted were originally off a mini unsure of the year though
