anyone running 16x8 ET25

[GraniteMini]

So i really wanna get a set of 3SDM 0.05 and they only come in 16x8 et25 and 16x9 et20 (which i dont think the 16x9 will fit at all) does anyone know if they will fit? would the 16x9s fit? if they do i would go staggered

Are you willing to run the necessary tire sizes? If so, the 9s would fit. The 8s would as well.

I think there are a few minis running those wheels already so you should be able to find photos.

What year MINI are we talking about?

That will be an exceptionally short tire. I'd aim for 205/40/16 if you WANT to go with a short diameter....205/45/16 if you want to go with a more standard height.

Well I found a good deal on some used bbs rims so I decided to go with some 17x8.5 et30 I'm thinking to run a 205/40/17 or a 205/45/17 so I don't have any rubbing issues.

205/40/17 is what you want.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I wanna purchase wheels in the same size as OP, 16x8 +26. My only question is how much stretch will I get if I use 195/55/16? The setup on my last car was 215/45/17 on a 17x9, which was the perfect amount of stretch for me. Should I expect something similar or will it be even more stretched?
