    When one wants to order new wheels for his R56S, what kind of precautions/specs must he be aware of so that the new wheels will comply to fitting the mini?
    Also, incase there will be an upgrade with coilovers, is there any change those coilovers might be very close touching the wheels?

    Just keep adding more wheel spacers until they fit.

    If spacers don't go far enough, you can adjust the camber to get them under the fenders

    I was thinking maybe he'd do something in a nice piece of stone, quarried and custom engineered locally...

    17 inches round and 7 1/2 wide.

    the lug pattern you are looking for is 4 X 100
