Who wants to break the news that the tires are on backwards?

Stretched tires on a Mini? Isn't that sort of... redundant?

Stretching isn't usually for performance unless your are actually benefitting from it.. (i.e. drift i believe?).. its mostly about the stance and the look.. and boy, his setup looks VERY sweet

Well it appears that I'm retarded
I figured the "arrows" on the tires meant which direction rotation was. I'll swap them this weekend when I put my coilovers on. Funny thing is, when I was looking at the tires after I mounted them it seemed wrong. Anyway, thanks.
Specs are:
F: 16x7.5 et35 195/45
R: 16x9 et15 215/40

RE: Running stetched tires, it is purely for looks in my case. It helps you fit widers wheels/tires under the arches when you add negative camber.

The rubbing with the 8s and 205/45s wouldn't be that bad. You'd probably wear away anything that was being rubbed on in a few days. You could always run a bit of negative camber in the rear to avoid rubbing too. 17x7 et38 looks pretty good but IMHO wider is more aggressive.

nice setup SHRTSTAK!
Aside from your tires on backwards, that's the nicest stance I've seen on a MINI in awhile! Nice job man!
What wheels are those? (Don't worry, I love my ACS Type I's, I'm just curious)

Did you have to import them? Are they out of production?

Keskin KT1s
And I got them used. They can be found stateside though, if you are interested I can dig up the shop that imports them.
