12" Wheels???

I think the overall consensus is that some fit and some don't. I think 12" alloys tend to have more room than 12" steels though, so your best bet would be to go with alloys imo.
I'ts been done, but I suspect that you;ll need low offset or spacing so the caliper fits in the largest part of the barrel.
I believe that those are 12" mini rims, banded and with micra 13" centres welded into the largest diameter inner section of the barrel.

I know wobble nuts are a must, but I'll try them and get some spacers if needs be!
Hopefully I make these wheels fit better

fixoredBought a set of 12" Ultralites...
Got the back two on no problem, I'm using logic and hopeful thinking 50mm spacers will correct the fronts out and make them fit nicely!
I had 13" superlites on a 106, quite a different set up I know, but 5mm spacers on the fronts and a bit of shaving to the front caliper did the trick! I imagine you'll be fine, just gotta watch the shape of ultralights as the spokes can be a bit funky and rub bits.Bought a set of 12" Ultralites...

Cheers Frank ...its actually quite close, there's a gentle narrowing as you get to the face of the alloy and that bit causes the brakes to not move at... all
I just had painted steelies with a colour coded lip and nuts on my 106 haha
Cheers for advice I'll keep observant!

hehCheers Frank
you could test it out with washers eh luke (to asess how thick the spacers need to be)

Like your 'editing'...
Yeah that could be a Idea, I've being lucky though and found a place very local who specialise in modifying especially Jap Cars!
There very approachable and probably have a look for free so I'll just pop in tomorra... with the back 1/2 lower than the front1/2 of the car to start with
