The proper Mini factory jacking system lifts both wheels on one side together...
Means a bit more shuffling if you get a front flat .... but then considering the number of flats I've had in almost half a century of Mini use (can't recall the last one) the standard wheel with a 145 (or even the 5.00-10 I carried for years) is a pretty good option...
Cheers, Ian

Hopefully a flat will be on a rear tyre

Already have 5 - 165' Dunlops on hand!
Might have to settle for a normal 3.5 x 10 that we already have.

Very Very good point considering the Boot board is original + in great shape we will want a Spare combo that fits.
So now = Needing 1 ... 3.5 x 10 Cooper S Spare rim. LLP 882 as a spare.

I use a 3.5 LLP 882 as a spare. Never used it, but it does fit under the bootboard.

Like Ian states, 4.5 'S' rims and 165 tires won't fit under the bootboard. I had to make up my own structural piece by making up a frame work and topping it off with a 1/8" piece of masonite which still is a tight fit. Randy

"...Still looking for a 5th single. Maybe Even a single 3.5 would work.."
Don't forget that a 4.5 with a 165 tyre won't fit under the standard boot board.... (and not all 3.5 non S wheels will fit over the discs). A 4.5 with 145 tyre will fit the standard boot config.
Cheers, Ian

There should be a part number on them. LLP 883 for 4.5 inch and LLP 882 for 3.5 inch. Stamped on the front lug that holds on the hubcap.

3.5" S wheels would have the same 9 holes around the circumference as the 4.5.... for ID purposes...
3.5" S wheels were standard on S... 4.5 options I believe

Don't know for sure...= but either way they are' REALLY' rough + Rusty... chunks missing.
Were 3.5 the factory off the line wheel? and the 4.5 the "accessory upgrade?"
Clarity will be great!
Have a set of Dunlops waiting to mount up!

Gathering parts , Preparing to put a 68 S back on the road. The car came with rough set of 3.5 x 10's Would like to find a set of 4.5-10's to put back on the car.
Very willing to buy singles, and in near any condition if they are restorable.
Please let me know if anyone has any available!
