Got 17x9s on my mr2 spyder. I’d say for small cars it’s a nice mid sized width. There’s definitely wider wheels but the wider you go the less responsiveness you get and it increases the maximum grip so you have to drive the car much faster to feel like you’re going fast so it sort of makes the car less fun under normal driving and to actually test the limits of your car you have to go so fast it scares the crap out of you. It’s safe to say Ive taken some turns so fast in my mr2 that I told myself I’ll never do that again.
Hi, just watched your video on the wheels for your mini 👍 Got a question for you, where did you get the rota wheels from? I have been looking for somthing similar for my mini. I have 17" rotas on mine & I like them but I'm running 50mm spacers on the rear & 25mm spacers in the front for them to sit nice on my extended arches. Ideally want to get rid, or significantly reduce spacers for track use so need to change my wheels to suit. Dud you get them modified to 2 piece ir did you manage to buy them as is??? Smithie 😁
Sorry but had to give you a down vote only because I watched you drive around for over 10 minutes and in the end you never actually say what the set-up is, just 17x9 rims, so what what are the tires? Even the "artistic" cut shots show Pirelli, but cut away before you get to tire size.

I will reply to your dm now. 👍
Can you post the sizes you ended up with? Spacers, wheels and tires.
10mm spaces. (Only needed to clear front brakes but added to rear to balance out the look.
17" x 9j wheels
225 / 45 R17 pirelli p zeros.
👍
What is the offset?
Isn’t this illegal? I’m sure your wheels should be inside the arch. 🤣🙈 looks cool though!
wow
What is the offset of your wheels?
Tosser spent too much time with the stupid intro, forgot to talk about wheel and tire specs.
Holy Poke batman

Sorry to burst your bubble but I’ve had 17x9 wheels with 245/35 tires on my mini for 2 years now
And I just put 255/45s on
Widest ever on a mini cooper s ? I rin 17x10s 🤣😴
Illegal as it is with the wheels protruding past the arches IIRC.
For me they look horrendous and you’ve wrecked the car!!!
Aha thanks. Yeah I know.
