But you will need flairs if you fit reverse rims over S discs.

As stated above.

If you are using 4.5 REVERSE rims with 7.5" Cooper S disks YOU WILL NEED TO USE WHEEL ARCH EXTENSIONS.

A pal used to have 4.5 reverse rims on a 970 and yes they did throw sh*t all over his car but he had 'em on for years, quite an odd choice . D1's are similar but just about do-able on S brakes especially with a 145 tyres on.

Are the extended arches for legality with the MOT, or just to stop spray and muck flying about ?.....
