Off-road R53
I have a 2004 Mini Cooper S and I found a 2” lift kit (https://www.journeysoffroad.com/mini...-lift-kit.html) im now looking for off-road tires and other things to add to make this project work, anyone have any suggestions?

Interesting. I can’t imagine off-roading my mini. That kit looks like it’s only spacers. What are you going to do for suspension, because just adding spacers isn’t going to change the ride. I couldn’t image the rough ride it would be with spacers. It would be cool to see a rally style mini with a king shocks and aftermarket a arms set up

Update, I have found an old discussion over doing the same thing (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...is-done-7.html) it sounds like stock suspension will be fine with a 2 inch lift, I also saw something about the size tires I wanted called Snowtrakkers but they are winter tires and I need all season.
