ive recently fitted a bodykit to my mini. but there is one problem. the alloys i have on the car look abit out of place because they are that hidden under the arch. what are the possible solutions?

do i just add spacers or buy new alloys?

and what are the problems with spacers? will the car handle different?

If your car is eqiped with disks then it will already have spacered drums on the rear, these can only be extended a little ( I think 3/4" is the absolute maximum ) before bearing integrity will come into question..

You should go for a set of mini lites 7x13 as they will fill the arches nicely and give the car a nice stance.
