Mini cooper wheels on an E30

I DID search and came up with squat. Perhaps my searchabilities are somewhat lacking.

I was mostly curious as to why no one has done this. Maybe it's due to the fact that the nicer wheels I have seen for the Mini are very very expensive.

You could also get spacers that have a smaller hub lip on the outside. Trent has something lip this, except the outter lip is bigger so he doesn't need hubcentering rings.

That said, with ET48, you are going to need some huge ass spacers. For looks, 30mm would be ideal, but they don't even make any that big. You could use 25mm.

Definitely have a pretty good point, I just mounted Mini wheels on my E30, I used 15mm hub centric spacers on the front and no spacer on the back and I also have the wheels bored out .9mm. The wheels look great, and you can get a wheel spacer that has a flat extended lip instead of an angled lip. The angled lip will not work with mini wheels but the flat lip will. I wouldn't use any larger than a 20mm spacer, I think the 15mm looks good but a 20mm might look better

Here's a few pics of the wheels on my car, these are wheels off an 06 Mini Cooper S, and I used 205/50 tires... I think the wheels look great, way better than the stock wheels but too crazy! I like it a lot
