Hi! Welcome to the addiction that is NorAmMotorin'...

I haven't seen that one on a MINI, but I think 18x8 is pushing the maximum wheels size for our little guys... 18x7.5 is the biggest recommended size, without major rubbing, which is or is not a problem depending on how you look at it...

Also, that wheel looks to have 10 spokes which line up with a 5 hole bolt pattern... Our MINIs are a 4 bolt x 100mm pattern, or 4x100, which is the same as many compacts like civics, some older BMWs, etc.

On top of that the offset looks deep... Recommended offset is 40mm or more..

But bear in mind there are ways around most of these problems if you really want...

If you like that style, try the GRacing Seki... Pretty close on style and in our fittiments.

Good luck-

-Steve

I would contact Axis about these wheels. Their website, www.axiswheeels.com, lists offset as "any", I don't know if this means it can be done custom or what.

As far as the bolt pattern, they do come in 4x100 so that shouldn't be a problem. But the 8" diameter will be one. That is gonna rub something fierce on the wheel liners. If you really want to do them I would reccomend some trimming of the liners, or trying a very low profile, 35 series or even 30 series tires.

Good Luck!
