How much did you lower your car?

 

I Have The Jcw Sport Suspension Kit[size=3] .[/size]

 

IMO, you should be fine.. It may rub under a full load if you car is full of people and stuff..

 

Generally if you don't lower you MINI that much then it should fit OK.

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.

 

The rears will rub on cornering and bumps. You will most likely need to do some trimming

 

thanks for help

 

those are nice wheels.
