With just a little more poke, the insides of the tire would clear the fender and you could use any size tire without rubbing!!

You could have also asked "How much tire stretch is too much?" The sidewalls are at a crazy angle.

I never get why people put pedobear on their cars...why you would want to be associated with that in anyway way is beyond me.

I think you can get a good deal on wheel bearings if you buy them by the dozen.

I hear what your saying but pedobear is actually meant to mock the sicko's...either way it's weird to have it on your car.

I'd rather see flush stance than wheel poke. That MINI didn't have the wheel arch trim pieces. Time to add wide fender arches.
original mini with some poke (looks functional for racing)
Flush stance on a Jetta

That was a trend in the early 90s. Never understood it.

There is no such thing as too much poke. It all makes me point and laugh

Judging from those exhaust tips, I bet it sounds as good as it looks :P

The tag reads "CUMMINS"...is it safe to assume somebody shoehorned some sort of small Cummins diesel into this poor MINI? Possibly a 4BT?

I had held off reading this thread, believing it would add no value. Why couldn't I trust myself?
