dandp,
I tried to look it up but could not find the details and you are likely correct.
How about this- does it look like 19"?- the fenders are enlarged!
From the personal gallery in MINI2.com of 911ETR but there was only one picture of this MINI.

>>thanks for the pix...keep em comin...anyways what offset should i be runnin for a set of 19's...also what is the max width i could with a 19 in wheel...thanks again...
I think you might want to talk to Alex@tirerack or Randy Webb before you go with 19" wheels because depending on how lowered your MINI is you are likely to run into rubbing problems with any rim wider than about 7.5". The remedy would be to use wider fender arches. But that changes the look and adds to the expense. 19" wheels would be really heavy.
For any size wheel/tire the offset limits are determined by the suspension on the MINI so read RandyBMC's comments here:

He says:
You want an offset of 40-48mm if you are going to lower the car at all with H-Sport springs, and 42-48mm if you are going to lower the car with H&R, Eibach, KW or coilovers. If you don't want to lower the car, ever, you can go all the way to a 37mm offset.
