Hob - just trying to be helpful, since this being your first post and all.

Need more info. What bolt circle would be a good start. Or we could just assume you want 5x4-3/4" since that is the majority around here. Style, type, and price range would also be good info. For all I know you are looking for mini lites to fit your 60's Mini Cooper!

Oh, and roughly where you live could help. Shipping you know...

9988199882Is your car mini tubbed by any chance?? I have a brand new set of Boss 338's that I was gonna run on my Fastback but I want something different now. They are 20x10 rear, and 18x8 with the correct backspacing.

Do you have to mini tub to fit a 10 in wheel in the rear? even if you clear out the bump stops and any other brackets in the wheel well? what about a 18x10?

Thanks.

Front:
Falken Azenis RT615k 255/40-18 on an 18x9 SVE Drift wheel made to fit a 2014 Mustang.
Diameter: 18 inch
Width: 9 inch
Finish: Black
Lugs: 5
Offset: +35 mm.
Backspacing: 6.38 in.
Bolt Circle: 4.5 in.

Rear:
Falken Azenis RT615k 295/40-18 on an 18x10 SVE Drift wheel made to fit a 2004 Mustang.
Diameter: 18 inch
Width: 10 inch
Finish: Black
Lugs: 5
Offset: +22 mm.
Backspacing: 6.36 in.
Bolt Circle: 4.5 in.

In the rear I have enough room to run about 2" wider tire... like maybe a 345/30-19. These wheels and tires will be excellent for track use. Wheels were $150 each for the front, $160 each for the rear, if I curb one or otherwise damage a wheel it will be easy to replace. In the future I can save up a few bucks and buy some 18x9.5 for the front and 19x12 for the rear and get some pretty tires that have a higher tread wear rating for road trips and general street use.
