Speedometer will not read correct. And what about the gearbox? Gear ratio?

I totally overlooked that problem!

8.4 discs - clearance with new wheels?

You have to change the calipers and discs to 7,5. There is a kit available from Mini Spares.

Brakes are under control guyS

I am going for 7.9" discs and calipers, A bit less hassle to fit than the 7.5" cooper s set up. As they use the same flanges as the 8.4" set up.

My final drive is 3.21:1 (which is the same as metro turbo and japanese SPI), not sure why my car has this, but according to the engine code (12A2Ek71) it does. I can see that the duration of acceleration is longer with 10's compared to 13's but teh top speed in each gear is lower.

So will changing to 10" wheels be a problem at the besiktning?

Well, should not really. As I understand the only thing they should bother about is the circumference does not deviate more than +/- 5% from the diameter the car is typed for.

Thanks Janne!

There is a 3.96% decrease in size between 175/50/13 and 165/70/10.

Go for it, Craig!!!!

What are 7.9" discs?

Basically 8.4" discs turned down to 7.9"

That was very interesting. And it'll fit with 10" Cooper wheels?

Most 10 inch wheels fit, the ones which don't tend to be "older" styles. Minisport also do a vented 7.9" disc.

What about original 4,5Jx10 Cooper wheels?
