I'm about to install an M7 Speed 2" lift on my Countryman. I've read about the pitfalls and talked to a few people as it's better to prepared. I have the kit with the extended sway bar links but I didn't get the sway bar. It looks like the whole rear end needs to be dropped down to fit it. I plan on running a 17" x 8 wheel with a 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6mm center bore and a 30mm positive offset. I'd like to run a 225/65/17 Falken AT/4w tire without major cutting. Seems like alot of people run this size. My other choice is a 215/65/17 which is 1/2" shorter, a little narrower with a .3" less sidewall. However I need to decide now because I'll have to go with a narrower rim like a 7.5".

Looking for anyone with experience with either of these sizes with 2" lift any anything else I should be aware of.
Thanks

 

Thinking about this more, I'm going to order 7.5" wide wheels with a 35mm offset as they will fit either tire size.

 

Hello, I would reach out to M7 Speed, they have installed a bunch down south and with all the tire and wheel options people can choose it gets complicated. You dont want to rub and you dont want to have to trim plastic if you can.

This was an aggressive set up in the UK

 

I reached out to them and they said a 225/65/17 tire will work fine. I expect I’ll have to trim some or at least bend some of the liner with a heat gun. I decided on the 7.5” rim in case I decide to go with a 215/65/17 tire. The link you posted doesn’t work

 

Yep, glad to help. Thats was just a picture of an aggressive set up they did with Brittle in the UK.
