Now THAT my friend is one HOT Mini. Very nicely done !
I love the Kodiaks and you just dont see them very often on a MINI. Thats the way i like to see a car. Love the blackout, drop and the lip and brake-ducts. Simple, clean and tastefully modded with polished wheels. HOT !

Wow. That is the perfect amount of tuck. Anyone have a 17" wheel setup with this amount of drop?

I'm running on a set of 17's, although with this wheel type, due to the different widths run, some would be more likely to tuck than others.
Rally is running 16's and they are much better for tucking. I think the only way to properly tuck 17's if you wanted to run some RS's would be to roll the fenders a bit.

Rally your running -5.5 on your 16x8 et33 205/40/16 set up? really? Im only at 1.5 on my 18" set up ... but I guess Im not tucking either

They're supposedly pretty accurate. It's probably somewhere around 4 or 5 degrees

That is some camber you got going
I may try and push mine a bit more once I get my new setup installed.
I'm looking at June since my buddy with the garage/tools is at the track on weekends till then with his bikes.

I am looking at purchasing a set of XXR 15x8s for a 07 mini S. I want to lower the car aprox 1- 1.5 inches. Any suggestions on tire size and or offset?? I love the look of the wheels/tires sticking out a bit from the fenders. Willing to trim/roll fenders if needed. Please let me know if you have suggestions!!! Thanks.

Ok, so I had 18x7.5 et 42 wheels, and had to use a 5mm spacer to clear the coilovers in the front. So now I am looking into the Team Dyanamics and I could get them in the 18x8 so would the 35 offset work without spacers then? I'm looking for something that would clear the coilovers without spacers. I'm still trying to understand how this offset business works. Also, what size tire would you suggest? I was running a 215/35 on my old setup. Any help would be great thanks!
Sorry to go a bit off course here, but I'm looking into 18x7.5's et 42. Don't have coilovers yet but that's next. What size tires and coilovers were you running? I'd like to use the widest fitment possible, but from your post, I'm afraid I'd only be able to go 205's and a lower et (i.e.35. Don't know if that would even work on an R56).
Hardly ever on NAM anymore but just stumbled across this thread...
Here's mine:
BBS RS
5x130
F: 16x8 ET38-18mm adapter = ET20
R: 16x9 ET50-25mm adapter = ET25
205/40 Falken 512s all the way around.
Thanks to Konky again for the epic camera work.
