My Mini, Stance?

[StatusError]

First of all, i need to point out that this may not be the "stanciest" build out there, but i like to think of it as having a purposeful stance. I've supported SW for a long time now, so i had to rock the limited edition sticker!

Went out last weekend to get some pictures, here's some of the stuff i got:

I was wondering what the PCD on these is? I have a set of E21 wheels in 13x5.5 et13, which I think might look great on a Mini! They are 4x100 57.1

it's nice, needs less tyre and more dish in my opinion, nice solid body though so you're lucky I like it

[Zack01GC]

The PCD of a Mini is: 101.6mm or 4 inch. So mighty close! Could have something made up to fit them that's for sure .

Thanks for all the kind comments, really appreciate it! And it certainly is good fun to drive, it's not impractical at all really, except speedbumps can be a bit tough to navigate, and the Edinburgh roads are far from good.

In regards to the wheels, i do have a 1inch wider set of wheels sitting here, but i'll wait for winter to pass and the tyres on the current setup to die, then i'll go ahead and have them on for next summer

and not the bmw creation

Love it. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to really "stance" a mini, but yours looks pretty much perfect to me

Yeah it is pretty tough! I could get it scrapingly low, but it would look pretty strange and ineffective to what i want to do with it. I like to think of Stance as not just how low you can go but the overall impression the car makes on you. I wasn't sure if the car would get some abuse on here because it doesn't fall into the mega low category and i don't have any crazy arch work or offset, but the community seems really nice!

Thanks for the kind comment Vic!
