Common questions
What bolt pattern does the Mini Cooper have?
The R50/R56 generations (2001–2014) are 4×100 on a 56.1 mm hub with M12×1.25 lug bolts. The F55/F56 (2014 on, BMW's shared FWD UKL platform) switched to 5×112 on a 66.6 mm hub with M14×1.25 bolts — the same fitment the BMW 1 Series and X1 moved to on the same platform. Check the table above for your exact generation, and confirm against a wheel or the owner's handbook before buying.
Will other wheels fit my Cooper?
Only wheels with exactly the same bolt pattern — bolt pattern has no working tolerance. The centre bore must also be equal to or larger than the hub (a larger bore just needs spigot rings). A different pattern needs bolt-on adapters, which also push the wheel outward and change the track.
What is the centre bore on a Cooper?
66.6 mm on the current car — earlier generations may differ, see the table. The bore is the hole in the middle of the wheel; it has to clear the hub spigot or sit on a spigot ring.
Bolt pattern is only part of fitment. The offset (ET) decides where the wheel sits in the arch — work that out with the wheel offset calculator. For tyre sizing on a new wheel width, use the tire size calculator.
