225/17/45 fit on R52 JCW?
Title is wrong, cant edit. Meant 225/45/17. You folks are smart, you'll figure it out.
I've already done the searching and I get a lot of speculation on both sides with very little first hand experience.
Has anyone actually tried to get 225/45/17 to fit on a JCW or a regular R53/2? I think the JCW has 10mm difference in height.
I bought some R90's on craigslist for $400, which come with Blizzaks with 60% tread. I didn't realize they came off an R56, not R53, so I didn't even bother with checking the tire size.
I dont have my R52 JCW yet, picking it up in a couple weeks so I cant check. I guess worst case scenario I can just sell the tires, its a somewhat common size.

My R52 with stock R98 web spoke wheels wears 205/45/17. According to the 2006 Motoring Accessories workbook, that is the tire all 10 of the 17 inch factory wheels are spec'd at. The 16" wheels call for 195/55/16 and the 15" 175/65/15. Hope this helps.
Also hope you enjoy your new to you drop head. After all, topless motoring is motoring at it's best.

Finally purchased my JCW.. after I took a closer look I realized it doesn't have the JCW BBK, but Brembo brakes. Any idea if these are close in size? Now I'm just hoping any 17" wheels will fit over these oversized brakes. They sure do look cool though with the drilled rotors.
Im still waiting on the right moment to pick up the wheels/tires in question.
