For suspension/wheels, I have : 18x8 polished wheel with 215/35R18 with a 22mm rear sway at the maximum setting. But, with those wheels and the bad roads we got in Quebec, I think 16x7 with 205/45R16 will be a better choice.
I think after my re-tune, my MINI will be around 250hp at the bloc (or even more).

I would also think you might want to add some underbody bracing, to help counteract all that POWER...it will make the wheels stick to the road much nicer!

Aluminum has great strength to weight properties from what I remember. I'm no expert in metallurgy, but it seems to me that it could be at least a little lighter, and corrosion resistant too....all good things, no?
