See more of this photographer's work at www.edwardramirez.com

The photo loses something at this small size... the high-res image is here: http://www.focusoa.com/MINI/JangoByEdwardRamierez.jpg

I'm running the new Texas Speewerks springs... rear control arms and front camberplates to come soon.

I just lowered my car on H&R's. I really want wheel spacers for a little "poke", I am confused on exactly how big I should go. Has anybody done bigger spacers on the back than the front? Say 5mm on the front and 10mm on the rear? I know this is popular with the BNZ, BMW crowd. I wonder how it would look on the MINI.

What are the best spacers for the money? Most affordable? Its hard to swallow spending $150.00, but it is a pretty important part to get right.

I am running 17" TD PR 1.2's, H&R springs, and 215/45/17 F-1 gsd3's.

BTW, I have been looking through this thread for the last 2.5 hrs. Every car on here looks soooo SICK.

MINI's look so good dropped it's ridiculous!

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, looks like you pulled up to a hump in road. Nice try though

Kalbone, nice i like it tucked under the fenders. Rally, still has some finder gap, but i know you are on 16s so you are probably low as hell.

Ground clearence is overrated anyways

Since there is so much interest in the tires on eastsidemini's car (I also recieved a couple PMs asking) here is some eye-candy:






I doubt they still have that much tread left on them

15s

The problem i have is that i want to run such a low offset for a little poke so tucking wont come until i start stretching tires (which is gonna happen this spring once i pick up a new set of rims that are wide and lower offsets)

I can put it a little lower, but with the 35mm offset it causes a few problems trying to tuck

Sorry man, I just saw your post. Those are custom made Kodiakracing wheels they are also very light and strong. A lot of racing team uses them. They were made to clear my Wilwood 13"BBK, Bilstein PSS9 coilover and mini hub size.
