I am new to the mini scene, but I do plan to purchase a Cooper S in the near future, and I was wondering if there is a larger fender flare kit in the works or available? An exaggerated version of the stock flares, to accomodate some wider wheels is what I'm after! Something like a 3" or 4" flare!

TIA!

What you gonna do with wheels that big

It already looks and handles like a go-kart, no? I just want to capitolize on this...

You want it to turn out like that Monster Beetle or summat?

There is a blue Lupo that I am thinking of that has exactly what I want, it tucks 16x9 Brocks all around, and looks really smooth! But I can't find a picture of it for the life of me

Go too big, and the steering becomes too heavy, and it tends to put additional strain on the suspension components, plus it'll start to resemble a tonka toy!
I personally think the 17" wheel combo that's available is large enough for the MINI.
Still, it'll be interesting to see it with them.

It would be a 225 contact patch on a 16" wheel, so that wouldnt be too bad. It would definitely limit the wheel bearing life and such, I can't argue that
