Rota 16x8 +48 offset

Rota 16x8 +48 offset
so I joined 09-23-2002 and finally I am picking up a mini! So here is my question; I am looking at Rota slipstreams and would like to get them in the 16x8 size, would this look odd/fit? the offset is +48.
Thanks in advance,
Danny

Otherwise the hub bore on the wheel will be 67.1mm
What suspension do you have- or plan to run? Stock or lowered?
If you use 205/50-16 which is a little smaller than stock tire diameter you will have enough clearance.
16x6.5 is stock wheel size. 16x8 add with stock offset of +48mm adds 19 mm (0.7") to the outside and 19 mm to the inside so clearance is tighter but possible. For clearance to suspension/brake parts, it's about 5mm closer.
Careful if you have JCW brakes and don't get an over wide size or too tall size of tire.

You can check with your vendor but I think you will be OK. Ask for hub bore of 56.1 mm so that it will fit the MINI hub without a centering ring.
