New wheels and tires?

Okay I know this ?gets asked all the time about will this fit. So will this fit okay on my mini. I just bought a set of rotas 16x7 40mm offset, and 225/50 /16 reo1r's. The car is lowered on alta springs, stock camber. So hopefully it works. Would just like alittle input from you guys, thanks.

That's a fairly large tire (larger diameter than stock) but you should be fine. The wheel has a conservative width and offset so there really shouldn't be any major clearance issues.

They will raise the car a quarter inch though.

No problem. Let me know if you have any other questions about your setup. It sounds like it's gonna look good

Unfortunately all our shirts are limited editions so there aren't ant plans to restock the current designs. I'll have some new and improved designs avaible soon once they're all printed
