after several succesful BMWCCA driving schools in my Jetta GT, I hope to be able to use my K1's (love um') 16x7.5 with 32 et (wow!) on my mini (oct delivery). can I use them as is, can get spacers if necessary? do I sell them with the Jetta, and start from blank sheet (maybe some OZ's?) running 205/45-16's and will eventually be running 1" drop (when H&R comes up with a cup kit)

 

that offset is too low for the MINI, and you would not be able to use spacers because spacers move the wheel out and you want them to come in. it might be possible to machine out the wheel about 5mm which would move it in some. not sure how much material is in the wheel to machine out, which is another thing to consider.

but those kosei's are not that expensive, so just sell them with the car and pick up a set that will fit the MINI properly.

 

My Mini Kosei is a 16x7.5 ET 43.

You'd need a 9MM moreconservative offset.

It will most likely cost alot to mill yours down.

Sell them on http://www.VWvortex.com

Then we can get you the right set for the Mini

Thanks Alex,

I appreciate the input, I may sell them with the jetta, or seperately, I don't know yet, but thanks also for the heads-up on VWvortex!

be in touch soon with an order.
