Hi Dan,

I was looking at some wheels and I was wondering if they would be too wide for the mini. I know the wheels I am looking at are 5 lug wheels, but I am currently in the process of finding a solution for that (new hubs). The wheel combos I was looking at are:

Option#1 19x8 -47 offset

Option#2 18x8 - 47 offset

Option#3 18x8 - 20 offset

Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Just as a teaser, this is what I have been playing around with doing.

There is one more problem to consider beyond offset: BOTH of the wheels shown are 5 Lug and the MINI is 4 lug

I do like the M3 wheels though. :smile:

I'm already addressing the 5 lug problem. I am researching the possibility of doing some part swaping due to mini sharing quite a bit of chrysler and ford parts. I know the filling and drilling or the wheel adapters are a dangerous way of doing it and that is why I am trying to do it right. If anyone has any suggestions in regards to some swapign some parts out, I would greatly appreciate it. Glad you liked the m3 wheels

Those width and offset combos are wider that i can guarantee a trouble free fit on a factory unmodified MC
