If you get slight rubbing it will be on the inner upper outer edges of the plastic inner wheel well on the rear tires. Some plastic and some rubber on your tires will wear off. If the tires are worn then there is likely to be less rubbing. When you put four people in your MINI the suspension is compressed and this increases the chance for rubbing especially over bumpy uneven roads.
Another adjustment you can make is to make the rear negative camber a little more negative so that the tire edge clears the wheel well. Any negative camber from -1.8 to -1.0 degree is fine for the rear.
