17x8 et 42 is really agresive for Mini.

The 17x8 tracklite 2 wont clear the stoptech 328x28

Those rims seem to be the best 17" around for weight though. Would they fit over a smaller 12.25 wilwood kit? They are like 14.5 lbs for a 17x8!

indeed, the lightest strongest wheel for the money...i seen them for $245 each!

maybe Alex can tell us WHICH BBK will fit under there...
that spoke design doesn't promote much of a caliper fitting too easily...but the wheels look tough as hell on that car.

the guy did say he had to do a bit of grinding off the rear inner plastic fenders, not sure how he made out once he got coilovers on there, he was rubbing when he had springs on it.

Whatever it needs though, it's worth it, love the stuffed look.

Not to mention the amount of rubber on the ground!

The Wilwood larger kit will clear. The only templates I have are Bremo, Willwood and Stoptech.

There are two 12.2" Wilwood (factory, not TCE) kits that are offered by TCE.

The 15" wheels will fit over the Wilwood 11.75 Race brakes.
