Looking for some winter wheels for my Mini

These are 4 x 100,
Wheel size is 6J X 14 ET35

Does anyone know if these will fit?

Thanks

No ... you'll need at least 15" wheels, and it will depend on the size of the brakes on your car.

Thanks Caveman I only have standard Cooper S brakes so I'm sure they should fit over them?

Also the offset is ET35 and I've found out the Centre bore is 57.1mm.

I found someone who said on here though that anything over 56.1mm will need to be increased as it will vibrate?

Did you say no because it wouldn't clear my brakes or just because it wouldn't fit.

1st gen S needs 15" minimum
2nd gen S needs 16" minimum

The ones you mention are only 14" so no chance of them fitting

If the centerbore is larger than 56.1mm hub-centric rings are needed to prevent wheel shimmy at higher speeds.
