That's the same setup I run, 7.5 S discs and Dunlop d1's that are 10*5. I think they are the same offset as reverse rims e.g designed for drums but they do sit nicely a little further out..

I prefer arch-less, We've got one Mini with and one Mini without
The only thing I would be unsure of is the colour of your Mini being arch-less, I guess its worth a try!
aren't exaction wheels are too wide for arch-less?
I Like that style!
Drool… 
Love this look...
Personally, I have a standard sportspack, and I love it, gives it just a bit of a sporty edge without being OTT
So personal preference! Both can look great (given the right mods or lack of)

Has to be archless.
All 4 of ours are, with standard chrome trim (flat not delux) is my favourite.

I really like the retro look of this one! Are those wheels standard 12" steelies painted Old English White? It's just that they don't appear to be sticking out from beyond the archless bodywork, or if they are, not by very much.
Oh and I definitely prefer archless.

Cheers mate yeah they are standard 12x4.5 steelies painted in ford diamond white (halfords for OEW) they don't stick out at all I was think if getting some spacers to push them a bit wider
Another one from the rear
Another one from the rear

I'm thinking about putting D1's on mine but really there's too much poke to be running without arches there 
I assume this is on disks so it's the same as how mine would look

Archless MPI with Mk.1 grille (and original Morris bonnet badge). Plus a 1275 Cooper 'S' and an Innocenti 1300 Export - all archless:
No arches means better top speed due to lower wind resistance.
