ok so i’m getting my car back on the road after a year off , last year i got the radiator repaired , no more overheating problems ??
me and my son put some 17 “ mini cooper wheels on today as the tyres on the BBS are absolutely shot , dry rot ...they sit in a bit ... but will get me the sticker i need ( MOT) over here ...
but is there a link so i can replace the shocks n springs ? front and rears , ( i think unfortunately a lot of us may have time on our hands ) Thx all , and please stay healthy!!!
a point in the right Direction we appreciated

Hi Adam , the cooper wheel will slot right on , if a person wants to make them permanent, you would need longer studs and spacers.
As the BBS are deep set and the coopers bolt right on the outer edge which will make them rub on a full lock , as they go in further.
I will upload a couple of pictures

Yes that's quite a difference in offset! I don't think that would be practical for everyday use.
