Hello new to the forum and I will like to know what options do I have to lower my 2019 MINI with rottiform KPS 19x8.5 I don’t want to go to aggressive so it doesn’t rub. What brand should use and what drop height should I go with.

 

Running a 19” wheel you don’t have a whole bunch of options. Springs will sit you too low to work with 19s. I suggest getting a decent set of coils and playing with the height and damping to see what works for you.

 

In my opinion, you went about the process backwards... Since you bought wheels first, you have a BUNCH more measuring to accomplish. I suspect you rub with anything other than OEM suspension with those wheels and tires, unless you get aggressive with alignment.

If it was my car, I would get the suspension I wanted first, then have the alignment settled, and THEN measure all around the tire and wheel to find a set that will fit.

 

You will need to address some "Camber Issues" to get the wheels to lean in at the top...front and rear. NM Engineering has adjustable lower rear control arms that work great...K-MAC has front Camber/Caster Plates that will adjust suspension up front. Without looking and measuring tho...you are in uncharted territory. Are you running any wheel spacers with your 19x8.5" rims and what size tires are you running...looks like smaller ones "stretched" onto your rims. Anyway...Looks good!

 

I’m running 225x35x19 no spacers! Thanks for the compliments!

 

Hi, I’m looking at those exact size wheels and tires. Have been holding off as I thought they would have too much poke. Quite surprised as yours look great and seem to fit within the aches well.
Can you tell me the offset you are using and confirm they are definitely 8.5” not 8” width? Also, is there any rubbing on the struts?
