Mini R90 rims
1 Attachment(s)
So I'm thinking of grabbing some used Mini R90 rims for the fit.. i realize there quite heavy compared to stock even but i like the look and there fairly cheap..
Here they are on Inkster's car: Attachment 86409 I've never ran aftermarket rims / other car rims before.. the tire size is 205/45/17 run flats (offset 48).. which says the speedometer will be 1% off.. I'm stock height so Im not worried about rubbing.. will 17's look odd on a non lowered fit? also is the center bore on these rims a perfect match to the stock ones? i like keeping it so it mounts up perfectly If in the future I change to Swift Springs will there be issues of rubbing? Also, the lug nuts are different for a Mini from what I've read.. is mounting these rims just a matter of buying different lug nuts (what kind??).. I don't want to worry about extended studs or any of that stuff thanks |
You'll get rubbing in the front if you lower the car. Another user here who lowered his with the same wheels had rubbing issues without camber bolts. Setting the camber to -3 degrees fixes it or alternatively cutting the inner wheel well plastic liner helps.
I've been running McGard Splinedrive cone seated lug nuts for years without a problem. |
Great thanks for the reply.. Pretty much made the deal to buy them.. Dude bailed on meeting me This weekend so waiting for him to be available again to pick them up
How much lowered is your car ( and the other user on here)? Is it Blackup's GE.. He was on pro kits I thought with the swift drop it wouldn't rub but can look into the camber kit when I get to that point Thanks for the info about the lug nuts.. Will look into them.. From what I can tell tuner lugs would also work if I wanted to go with a color |
Yep, I lowered on Eibach prokit with R90 no camber kit, and no rubbing:

lapierre4 is the other owner whose lowered on Tein S-Techs (-1.4 in front and -1.6 in the back) with rubbing problem.
My coilovers are fully dropped. I never measured or find out how they go so I can't say. :p |

Your drop on pro kits is the lowest I would want to go and looks perfect to me..
The R90 look pretty decent on the Fit, but you are right.... they are a bit heavy. Also, I did not like the run-flats at all. They were very old, so maybe I would like newer/softer run-flats more but man were they stiff! They were still pretty sticky but not worth running at all due to the weight/stiffness. I would very highly recommend the 205/40 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 though! Awesome tires! |
Thanks for the info.. Pro kits on the integra were similar but I didn't mind the harsher ride.. Never had run flat tires either.. Didn't realize they were stiff/heavier
Just waiting for the guy to get back to me who's selling them... Really hoping he isn't backing out |
Make sure to check the classifieds forum over at MINI COOPER :: North American Motoring if you haven't already. You might have to register and sign in to see it. That's how I found mine.

Yeah I have been checking there and on kijiji.. Found a guy but he flaked.. We had a deal .. Supposed to meet and he backed out.. Then never contacted me back again.. Was a good deal but the lips were a bit beaten up
I'll keep looking... |
I couldn't find a used set for months and wound up buying new from dealer down in the states. :nod:
|
How much were they brand new? Don't think I'd buy them brand new.. Unless it was on a deal..
The kijiji guy said he's keeping the rims for winter rims.. So the hunt continues. |
I just remember costing a few hundred per wheel, less than a BBS RG-R. :o
