I am getting my new Mini this Wednesday (yes, pics will be posted), and I plan on getting some 18's that I already have picked out. But, I am rather trepidatious as to how it will look without being lowered. The gap doesn't seem too bad to me.
I know that my last car was lowered and the gap was about the same as in an unmodified Mini. My concern is what effect the 'shorter springs' will have on the shocks and their lifespan........Any input is greatly appreciated....

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.....That way if you **** him off, you will be a mile away and he will have no shoes....
