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.

My new Rota Slips, not sure on them really. I will get some better photos I tried to find somewhere last night as I just fitted them

They are 16x7 et 40 with 205/55/16 tires, and I am getting a little rub with hard driving, is this normal as I thought I would not get rubbing. Te ride is so much better with these

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 ass.

^ - if you're looking for opinions count me in as part of the "look like ass" 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.
