The JCW brake kit will fit under the R84 (X-lites)
The Phil Wicks MINI had the JCW brakes mounted with the R84 rims. I talked to them about it, and the only problem seems to come in when a shop goes to put balance weights onto the rim. They may have to be shaved to clear the caliper properly. It is a VERY tight fit, but it can be done.

I bet those 16x7 O.Z. Ultraleggeras would fit, and are only 14.5 lbs. The reason I'm sure of thise is if you look at the pics of my car, you will see that the rim comes nowhere near the caliper, it's the spokes that are the closest. The Kosei and Ultraleggera wheels have spokes that start at the edge of the rim and go to the centre, providing lots of clearance.
