Im fancying the idea of riduculously fast acceleration.

D'Ya think I could shoehorn some 12" wheels on with no difficulty?

Say 12 x 5.5 Minilites? That'd be mint!:D

But that plus 20mm lowering may be a recipe for disaster!

Big gaps in arches? Even with a 40mm Drop??

well if you think about it, its taking half inch away from the clearance of the car and half inch is adding to the gap in the arches

this is if your using the same profiles (wouldnt want to have bigger profile really lol :p)

Abarth Kitted Cinq Sporting, New lil siggy pic coming soon, till then.... not much really lol
 
I was going to use smaller profiles maybe, get proper skinny wheels

Im thinking about acceleration at York and pulling all the stops out!:D

I got new discs and these were quoted to be 240mm so doubtful the 12's would fit, can see you gaining that much either, money is better spent on some form of performance upgrade.

**** happens!
 
Get some 13's in minilites design! less hastle but well worth getting the split rim appearance ones! Demon Tweeks do them

The Bigger the car, the smaller the dick. Go Cinquecento!!!
 
F3 slicks would be brilliant, but a bit excessive, as Id think 12" wheels may suit the car nicely!

Top End Speed isnt a major Issue, I never really exceed 90...Ive only done 105 once, and that was enough for me!

If I coupled it with a longer 5th Gear (Novitec) That might cancel it out at high velocities anyway!

well same here..

Anyway back to the point. Im going to try and get some 2nd hand. Cos im also thinking black powdercoat would be nice!!:D:p

Erm , thinking now... a Mini has fitment 4x4" (4 x 101mm), and I know that 4 x 100 fits using wobbly bolts. think they'd do the extra 1mm?
