13" Minilites for traveller?

[ExMODtraveller]

Hi I have a set of 13" minilites but the bolts on the hub aren't long enough to go through the wheels? How does everyone go about solving this or have I got a thicker set of wheels? Thanks

Buy some longer wheel studs

Depends on wheel type - are they designed for sleeve nuts ?? Are they ex Mini by any chance ???

[ExMODtraveller]

Yes they are ex mini, would I be able to use sleeve bolts on them?
Has anyone else done this? Thanks

Rover Mini minilights had special chrome nuts, plenty on eBay. Are Minor and Mini studs the same thread?

Same thread - but I am surprised ex Mini 13" wheels have a suitable offset to allow them to be used on a Minor.....

The problem is the bolts don't even poke through the wheel, so I would either have to get longer bolts or use sleeve bolts.

Did you manage to get to resolve the problem as I am considering buying a set of the mini lite rims ?

Minilite type wheels designed for a Minor fit perfectly. It's when you try to bodge on Classic Mini wheels - with big offset - that the problems start....
