Sorry I can't tell from the picture, but is that lowered and if so is that why trimming was needed?

Yup - lowered 1.5" up front and 1.75" in the rear... I don't think it would work without some extra negative camber up front and trimming, even at stock ride height.

Love your Kodiac wheels, and they're so darn close to where I live, but cheap they are not. (I know, I know, quality and cheap seldom go together).
It is nice to see a set of Kodiac wheels on a MINI.
