Wheels from MG ZR on Mini Cooper S: compatible?

No, the centre bore is too small

Same 4x100 PCD, but the centre bore of the wheels from MG ZR (56.1 mm) is smaller than the hub of Mini Cooper S (66.5 mm): they will not fit without being re-bored by a professional.

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Mini Cooper S (M12x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
