    From memory I think some after market wheels do not suit the R56 Mini.

    Why is that.??? I know the wheel bolts are 14mm on the new Mini.

    However don't some wheels sit proud of the arch on the R56.

    Would this fitment be a problem on the R56

    fitment should be fine just make sure you can get your M14x1.25 bolts down the hole of the wheels. I have sold a few sets of wheels for r56 minis at my work recently.
