Needing a bit of advice...

[DaveGedro]

I was browsing the interwebs yesterday and found these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-SPECIAL-10-WHEELS-A...

I thought that they looked in alright condition, except for the bend on the edge of one. However, i then started to wonder if the wheels being 10" would be a problem as i have AP racing calipers on the front of my mini. Some people have said that you can sort this space problem by fitting wheel spacers... is this true? If it isn't true, then is there any way of me making these fit without changing my brakes?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

To answer the direct question, what size discs do you have currently ?? If 8.5" discs (as standard from 1984 and with 12" wheels) then no, if 7.5" discs (as per Cooper S to 1970 and early 1275GT to 1974) then yes.

There are a few sets of "special" rims around, some better than others. Unless you are going to send these off to Force Racing to get them made into split rims, or you can get another in good condition to make a set of four, I'd probably look around at another set.

Thanks mate. The car's in a garage just now getting a bit of a look over so i'll measure the discs when i get the car back. However i have decided that i won't get this particular set... seems like it's not worth the gamble or risk of getting a dodgy set. Thanks for your help.
