Personally I wouldn't go for 13x8 as it will put a lot of stress on the balljoints (people already complain about that issue when using 13x7 wheels), second it is a pain in the ass to drive/steer such wheels on a mini especially in the front, third don't use them if your mini does not have a bit of power (for instance a standard 1000cc engine) cause it will only slow it more down because of the resistance of the wheels and tyres.
These are the minis I was talking about :
Setup last mini :
Front: 13x7J With Michelin 145/55R13 Tyre
Back: 13x8J With Rockstone 165/55R13 Tyre
Front: Hi-low, gaz shocks, lower arm, camber set and adapt themselves much
Back: Hi-low, gaz shocks, camber set and adapt themselves much
Here are 13x8 rota wheels on a classic, doesn't look right in my opinion :
13x7 will fit the sportspack arches perfectly (without a stretched tyre haven't seen one with a 13x7 stretched tyre yet) :
And everyone on this forum knows I'm a big fan of 10x7 wheels :
