i know they are 4x100s (16"s) but will the offset work appropriately without spacers? thanks

the hub bore is wrong
e30= 57.1 mm
mini= 56.1 mm
and the offset is wrong, would need large spacers

I know, wouldn't it be awesome if they just bolted up. We would have so many new wheel options.

Is there enough "meat" on the mini cooper rims to bore them out a bit??

I ask because we have machines at work that could very easily handle this job...

it isnt reall worth it, because you would need to run a hucentric spacer, and you can just have that machined to 57.1 mm on the hub side and 56.1 on the wheel side
