XXR 521 16x8!! HELP!

I have a chili red stock 2006 mini cooper r50.

Im wanting to put on XXR 521 wheels, hyper silver, 16x8 +20 et.

My car is NOT lowered, will these wheels work without tearing my fenders apart? I know they will probably stick out a bit unless i put some camber on them to tuck them under the fenders.

How do u think they will look even though im not lowered?


Opinions pleaseeee

They will fit fine. 20et is pretty aggressive. You will definately have wheel poke. It look a little weird without lowering it. I would 2" would give it an awesome stance!

How exactly do i get rally in here? lol im new to all this!

Also, i could probably get almost 2" lower with just springs instead of coilovers eh? Would i need rear camber to stop from rubbing?
