I am looking at this wheel:



Specs are:

16x9.0 F / 16x9.0 R
4x100/114.3
ET15 F / ET15 R

or

16x7.5 F / 16x7.5 R
4x100/114.3
ET30 F / ET30 R


I personally want the x9.. but I am wondering if that offset and size is going to fit the mini without modification..

 

that would either take a significant lift, or a sawzall

the combination of 9" width and significantly less offset (+48 is stock) will mean that the outer edge of the wheel and tire will interfere with the fenders

the proposed 9" rim with 15 mm offset will push the outer surface of the tire a full 55mm further from the centerline, which converts to over 2"

that dog won't hunt I'm afraid

cheers,

Charlie

Very cool wheels! 9s will be extremely aggressive.

 

the 9's will poke quite a bit. going to need to be really lowered and cambered to fit them

the others will fit easy and be right at or 1/4" past the arches... no biggie there

i think this is 9" wide et 20... 'yours' will stick out a little more

Maybe a machine shop can bring down the 16x9 15 ET to a 28 to 35 ET.
16x7.5 should fit.

 

My setup is a et 25 in the rear and yes 9" wide.

 

yes, been done:
