Please keep in mind, that this like any modification, has the potential to be illegal in your state, as well as exceed your manufacturers recommended specifications, and you should exercise caution and good judgment accordingly.
That said, lets get those specs and see some more photos posted.....

I'm looking into the Raderwerks P-90s after a set of VMAXX coilovers. I haven't ever seen them on a MINI before. They can be found here: http://www.raderwerks.com/
The offset does't seem right though. Here's the specs I'm looking at:
Front / Rear
16x7.5 / 16x9
ET 30 / ET15
4x100
What do people think? Will it fit?
::edit:: I did some search and found some people who got it work. But I was wondering if you'd need spacers or anything like that. Found them here: http://www.motoringunderground.com/f...ad.php?t=12080

No spacers needed for those offsets. They're plenty low enough. You don't need spacers to make them lower.
Those are pretty close to the specs that Wanderer ran on his keskins.
Obviously you'll need to pay close attention to the rear stretch as it's very necessary to fit them with such a low offset. You'd be running 10mm more poke than the sparkling silver car above.

Did he use rear adjustable control arms? Or did he leave the camber the way it is once he dropped it?

I'm pretty sure he left the camber once he lowered it. I'm not 100% certain. He's at like -4.5 or something around there right now on his RS's.

there's the slightest of rubs whenever i go over large bumps at high speed, but it's just the tire on the fender liner. whenever the tires wear out i'll probably go to a 40 series tire of some sort though.
honestly, i'm not quite sure the make and model of the tire. they came with the wheels. they're currently in storage at my dad's for the winter, but i'll try and go dig them up.
