I have always been a believer that the F56 needs wider than stock tires because it’s a bigger car! After seeing all sorts of attempts at wider wheels & tires, I just believe the F56 is not suitable to a lot of rubber! It either rubs the struts or protrudes too far beyond the fender lips!
The best upgrade is a 7.5” wide wheel with 215/40 ratio with et 40 or 45. I prefer 18” wheels too.
I know the ACS 19” wheel runs 235/35 tires (which is the correct ratio for the stock tire sizes for correct speedometer readings), but I’m yet to see anyone go that route to see the actual clearance.
8.5” is too wide a wheel imo, and even 8” is stretching it a bit. That being said, MINI really should have gone with 7.5” wide rims stock instead of 7”, but narrow is best for fuel mileage (with the run flats)!
All the confusion and my worry about screwing up a perfectly good car keeps me with the stock 18” cup spokes wheels with Pirelli 205/40/18 P7 runflats. Not really all that bad, at least for now!

Looks like the angle to me. I have a set of the same wheels and size tires to go on as soon as it stops freezing raining/snowing around here. Hope it will work without spacers.

I have been driving this set for around 2 weeks and do not experience any problems.

I have the same setup (well almost; 17x8 et45) and although they are really really really close in relation to the front struts they work. i've had this setup for 2 years now and no problems at all. BUT, if I knew then what I know now, I'll go 17x7.5 instead of 17x8.
