Hello, thinking of getting these wheels for my car:

- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-mini-special-110...

However, I have AP Racing calipers and have been told that 10" wheels may not fit over them... Is this really the case?

I just thought I'd check before buying.

Thanks, Dave.

Are you sure they are 10"?

as a rule of thumb, if the drive flange is held to the disc with bolts they are 8.4" discs, if its held on with Philips screws its a 7.5"

If your car has the original brakes, then yes, they will be 8.4" discs, which 10" wheels won't fit over.
