he's the type of person that see's something, and thinks he can imitate it buy just buying wheels. it will end up shitty and mediocre at best. not to mention he's starting with a shitty cheap ass wheel. has no idea about 512's, decided not to buy coils, and is still trying to autocross. lo fucking l trying to hard but fails. just like most of the rest of them.

Wouldn't look too bad but the wheels are just the wrong size. The rears could probably fit if you run demon camber... eh
Pick one - dope fitment or functional autocross/road race setup. Can't do both.

Even then...it's still a Mini.

OP: if you care at all about performance you should have left it stock and gotten stickier tires, or gotten the correct offset wheels and stickier tires. Your autocross times with this setup will be worse than a stock Mini.

i have performance done, as i stand now i can shit on modded wrx's, i can keep up with sti's. im not worried about autocross like i said im just doing it for fun and to learn about the car.
and ive seen plenty of people autocross with wide wheels (maybe not with stretched tires but you get the point)

It's not the wide aspect that I was talking about, it's the fact that with these tires and the camber you'll need to fit them under the fender your contact patch will be far smaller than stock.

It doesn't matter how many performance mods you have done, your suspension setup determines how much of that power you can use.
