Does anyone know if you can replace the four stud hubs on a cooper s with any other BMW model 5 stud hub to accomodate 5 stud alloys?

I know that you can re drill the studs so they fit the mini but this does look a bit odd

You can buy a spacer thats changes it from 4 to 5 stud,ThorneF did this

Seems as though zeemax are the only ones who do them, but you need a second mortgage to buy them. Anyone know if any of the BMW models hubs will fit the Mini????

I doubt it, all BMWs are RWD but the Mini is FWD.

Hi Slurpinpig

I asked a similar Q a few weeks ago and didn't get much joy. I wanted to use a set of BMW MV 18" alloys but they are 5 stud so i was wondering if you could adapt brakes/discs from a 3 series. If you find out then let me know too!

Ta ta.
