    Mini Copper wheel fitment onto E30.

    Noticed with much excitement today that MINIs are 4x100. Anybody rocking some Mini wheels on an E30? There are a few designs that I like, and they're pretty cheap. Are adapters required because of the hub differences, or will they bolt on and go?

    (kinda noob question, i've never had aftermarket wheels on a car before)

    MINI wheels are heavy and their offsets aren't the best fitment for e30's and to top it off the hub bore is 1mm smaller than the e30.

    most of the 7" wide wheels are et48

          more importantly, the center bore of a MINI wheel is 56mm while the outside diameter of your wheel hub is 57mm... this means that you need to bore the center of the MINI wheel to 57.1mm.

          By the time you buy the wheels and find a machine shop/pay a machine shop to fix the wheels, you might as well have purchased correct wheels.

            Mini wheels can def look good on an e30 though.
