18x8.5 on an R53 - doable?

I'm curious if anyone has fit a 18x8.5 on a Mini. If so, what kind of offset is required as well as tire size? Stock height or dropped?

See my response Here. Just remember mine is an R56, not sure of the suspension diff between R53/R56

Cool. The wheelset I am thinking about woe be around a 35-37mm offset on an 18x8.5". Sonds like it would be a super tight fit to get to work.

Anyone else have experience in this size wheel?
