I consider 16's to be about perfect size for the Mini.

Show them up, bold and proud!

Be sure to list your full suspension, tires, and wheels setup!

I can't wait!!!

 

i posted this not long ago at the wheel/tire thread, but here it is again:


i run 17s on the street, these are my track tires and wheels...
16x7 BSA 303 40mm offset (14.5 lbs)
Kumho ECSTA V710 215/40-16
Eibach Prokit springs
Koni Yellow Shocks

About -3 degrees with Alta control arms in the rear

 

hit my link for SSR comps in 16x7.5's.

 

here are my 16's

16x7 et 40 rota slipstreams (just under 13lbs)
205/45R16 f1 gs-d3 (21 lbs according to tirerack)
stock suspension (one bit at a time )



note this was taken rite after the install so the suspension has since settled a bit

 

Thanks guys, anyone else?

 

yep, latest pict of my SSR Comp 16x7.5's by shukes24. these are imho the
best looking wheels you can get in 16 size.

 

and one of the most expensive
but they are awesome and light weight

 

Stock 16"s with HSport springs and Koni yellows

 

I like those stockers too

 

R88's, stock suspension except for h sport Rear Sway Bar, bridgestone potenza SO3's.

 

Here are my Enkei Rsf2 16 x 7's with Hankook Ventus Rs2 215/45R16's for autocross. 19mm rear anti sway bar otherwise stock suspension.

 

check my gallery--volk TE37's, 16x7 (12lbs.), goodyear GS-D3 205/50-16.

 

yeh, just doesn't have the slight stretched look with 16x7" width
when running 205/50/16's for street, but if you're an auto-xer, might
be best to stick with 7's.

the 0.5" difference in width is big.

 

yeah i am pretty sure that extra .5 knocks you into the next autoX class (max width 7")...i run 205/45 on 16x7 on the street cuz i am crazy like that...i almost went with 205/40 rt-615 but then it rained for 2 weeks and i decided it rains to much here not to get the gs-d3s...smaller is better(for acceleration and sideway anyway not for looks though as my fender gap is HUGE with stock suspension) screw speedo accuracy, if it is too fast i won't have to worry about speeding
