I'm using 15mm spacers all around. The wheel is 18x8 et 45.

What size tires are you running? Any rubbing? I love your setup. I will be getting a mini in 2 weeks and have some plans for it..

215/35/18 and yeah, it rubs a bit in the back over large bumps. I think a 10mm spacer would be ideal

Wow Mr VicSkimmr!
You have the best looking Mini that I have seen so far. I like how you painted your grill and head light trim to match, and those wheels look mighty mean. Also that gas cap painted to match is a nice touch. Very nice. My compliments.

Considering these for my clubman. I am 50/50 as I know it will be a big hit or miss. Could be pulled off nicely/uniquely or look like total ***.

^ - if you're looking for opinions count me in as part of the "look like ***" crowd but to each his own.

I guess it depends on size. The look has to be right... everything looks better with a drop IMO. Small wheels on a lift are for off-roaders! Just IMO.

They would look good on a Supra or something, but in my opinion... keep looking. There are plenty of wheels out there.

Can I play too?
Apologies for the quick pic and dirty car. Also still need to decide if I want to put the black centercaps in. Looking good Jon B.

Are you lowered? That clearance in back is really tight for stock.

They are 17x7 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 in gloss black. Most of them you see around are matte black. I got them a little over a month and I am really happy with my final decision on getting them over Ultraleggeras.
