R98 webspoke on 03 Mini?

Will the R98 webspoke wheels from a later (05,06) Mini fit an earlier car? I know there were some changes to the lug bolts.
Thanks.

Never mind, found the answer.
In about May 2006 the bolts used on the MINI wheels were enlarged from 12mm to 14mm.

R98 webspoke is 17x7"


It will fit any MINI all years.

Note that if you put them on an MC you might notice-

Harsher ride if you have runflats installed due to stiffer sidewall of runflats or stiffer sidewall of 205/45-17 tires. Also if you had non runflats before and then use 17" runflats it might be harsher.

There are many good 17" non runflat tires but difficult to have a spare in 17" size to carry for any MINI.
