That would be too aggressive of an offset for the Mini. You would need to do major modifications to make it work. 15x7 with a 38 offset is a better fit.

Tell that to Rally

15x8 ET15 is VERY aggressive but it CAN be done and can look good if done right. Contact Rally about that...

I answered your PM...but feel free to ask me any other questions as well.

15x8 et15 is a bit less agressive than my rear wheels.....so take that into account when you read my PM response. My fronts are 15x8 et 14 and there is no rubbing AFTER i put some camber up front. Without camber, i hit a bad construction zone and it knocked one of my arches off. Added some negative camber (-2.5) up front and don't rub at all.
