Wheels on 2012 MINI Cooper

Sooner or later, every motorist has to face the moment when the stock rims start to seem boring, or simply wear out and stop looking pretty. Fortunately, the aftermarket is extremely saturated with goods, and you will definitely find something that will please your eyes.

If you decide to transform your vehicle's appearance and buy new rims, make sure that you choose a product that will fit your MINI Cooper. It's necessary so that the wheels will fit properly and won't cause any discomfort or problems during the operation. Especially for you, we have prepared a list of basic parameters that you need to consider when choosing new rims for your 2012 MINI Cooper.

Stock Rim Sizes

The stock rims are designed perfectly for your 2012 MINI Cooper - they fit exactly in place and don't require any modifications to your car. However, if you want to experiment a little and transform your car's appearance - you can install larger rims than stated in the manual. However, please note that installing too large and heavy wheels can lead to suspension failures.

 15x6.5, 15x7.0, 15x7.5, 16x6.5, 16x7.0, 16x7.5, 17x6.5, 17x7.0, 17x7.5, 18x7.0, 18x7.5, 19x7.0, 19x7.5
Stock Wheel Offset

If you want to make your 2012 MINI Cooper look more aggressive, you need to install rims with a lower offset - and then the wheels will protrude from the arches as on sports cars. However, if you prefer a classic style, then choose the rims with bigger or zero offsets.

 40 - 48 mm
Bolt Pattern

The bolt pattern shows the number of bolts on which the wheel is mounted and their relative position to each other. When you plan to buy new rims, make sure their bolt pattern matches the bolt pattern of your 2012 MINI Cooper.

 PCD 4x100
See Adapters
Hub Diameter

The center bore of the wheel should match the diameter of the vehicle’s center hub in order to achieve a secure and precise fit. This alignment is important for maintaining stability, reducing vibrations, and ensuring safe operation of the vehicle.

 56.1 mm
Use Hub Centric Rings
Thread Size

Tires on 2012 MINI Cooper

Choosing quality tires for your 2012 MINI Cooper is as important as choosing a reliable car. No matter where you drive, you need to be sure that your tires can handle all weather conditions and perform equally well at low and high speeds. Don't skimp on your tires and keep them in good condition, because your safety depends on it.

Everyone loves surprises - but only those that bring joy, not headaches. A flat tire that appears somewhere far out of town can be a serious problem for you.

To prevent this from happening, we recommend that you install a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, a special device that monitors the level of air in your tires in real time and tells you if it has dropped below a certain level.

Stock Tire Sizes

The manufacturer's stated tire sizes are benchmarks and will fit your vehicle exactly. If you just want to install the tires on your 2012 MINI Cooper and drive without any problems, use the sizes suggested by the auto manufacturer.
Popular Custom Tire Sizes

You can install various tire diameters on your car, with high and low profiles. Be careful, however, that they do not protrude too much and do not interfere with vehicle parts - arches, fenders, mudguards - as this can affect steering and cause damage to the tires.
