what year is my mini actualy, and what size of tires i can use

i was told from the guy i got my mini from that it was a 86 model because that is what the driver seat belt said can any body tell me if thats true, and does any body know how tall of tire i can put on it with a 2" or 3 " lift thanks

 

the chasis number is DB71T and I have attatched some pics, Thanks

 

I concur with Steve. Stay at or below 2" on the lift. You can run 24" max on tires. Most likely have to trim a little . If you use 23" tires hammer up the lip on the bottom end of wheel well. If you want to lift it more with using blocks you can go up to 25" tires. Gets a little more involved.

 

thanks for the info, heres the chasis number DB71t-199015
