not sure what the offset would be. typically fwd cars like the mini will have large offsets as you have the whole UJ thing in the front suspension for the driveshafts. could be accounted for by using big spacers, but then you have to fit longer studs and risk stud breakage! see if you can find the offset for the wheels you're looking at.

Basically the distance from where the wheel mounts to the hub, to the inside and outside of the rim.

The largest Mini wheels are 13" diameter - Minor uses 14" as standard, and looks good on 15" wheels. As others have pointed out - the offset will defeat you.
