My mini has the standard 90's special arches and the older cooper s 7.5 brakes with spaced drums on the rear. I'm trying to find wheels that sit flush with the arch but so far its not going well.

I have 6x10 mamba's which are way off so i then got a set of 5x10 slot mags and they are just as bad due to the ET10 offset. Using Google images is difficult as its hard to tell what brakes are in them. Hence the impulse slot mags purchase.


What wheels do we know fits well in these circumstances? Assume the brakes and arches are staying as is.



Thanks
Mark

ET21 is the maximum offset with standard plastic arches.

Thanks guys. I have tried minilife 4.5's and they will work with thin spacers. However I tried the slot mags once again and it looks like the front won't be too bad and I can get non spaced drums/short studs on the rear.

The slot mags are 10x5 et10. If they were et15/20 they would be perfect.
