Where would I find wide wheels?

I havent got my cooper YET (hopefully tommorow!)

i sold my wheels from my subie and a ton of parts so Im gonna have about 1400$ to spend. first plan is to get some wide wheels and tires, and a headerback exhaust.

On stock suspension i shouldnt rub i guess, but I see some people saying the most you should run is 235 tires, I dont know if i really wanna stretch cause tires are more prone to getting f**ked while running a decent stretch.


where can I find some 16x9 or 17x9 wheels (or even x10) for decent price? i checked the classified section and couldnt find anything in my area. Tirerack?

edit: by decent price i mean as cheap as possible lol.
if not, im probably just going to get some normal 16x7.5s and run a big spacer. That will probably be alot cheaper considering finding 16x9 tires are hard and itll rack up to over 1000 (most likely)

I dont think you'll have much luck fitting 10 inch wide wheels on a MINI. IMO 16x9 is probably gonna be the biggest.

Just start hunting.

ebay
vwvortex classifieds
wheel-****** classifieds
etc
