Afternoon all, A quick question. Would the New BMW Mini alloys fit the K11 micra. Because when I look at the alloys on the Mini the studs look closer together than normal 4 stud alloys?

they are the same pcd and ofset as a k11/k10 but the cetre hole is too small so that would need to be made bigger before they would bolt on

Could I use a spacer instead?

would be alot safer easier and cheaper to have the center bore bored out, spacers IMO are not a solution to fitting wheels they put more stress on the hubs can damage bolts and bearings not worth it to make a car look nice IMO.

but yes you could use spacers but if it were my car i wouldnt

Cheers for the heads up Speedle. I'm just looking on ebay for cheap sets of wheels & tyres. They were 17" so not bad I was bidding on some others last week which were 15" but someone has outbid me. Damn Budgets.

Where would I go for boring out wheels?
