Has anyone upgraded their wheels yet on their coupe? I'm trying to figure out what's the lowest offset you can run on the F66? I know Mini changed the wheel base on this generation. I spoke with Tirerack but they said they haven't got their hands on one to measure or test yet?

Do you currently own the car? If you pull one of the wheels, the size and offset are typically cast or stamped into the back side of the spokes. That will tell you the OEM specs.

Then, navigate over here:
https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

Enter all the OEM specs and tire size, measure around the wheel well and enter those values into the side bar, and start messing with offsets and specs for new wheels. That site will help you figure out options to minimize clearance issues. I've used it now on two different vehicles, and only had one hiccup with fender clearances on my lowered R55, which was solved by adding a slight amount of camber.

Thanks for the reply... Not yet it's on order. I did order the 17" wheels but not sure the width or offset.

If RealOEM.com is up to date, looks like the 17's are now 17x7 +47 supplied with 215/45-17 tires.

Purely speculation based on experience... you could possibly bump up to a 17x8 +45 with a 225/45-17 tire without much drama. But, I would double check the clearances when the car comes in before ordering.

On my 2025 f66 two door I have run my 18 x 7.5 42’s with 225/40 no problems. Also the 17s from my 2023 f56 with original 205 45 tires

TPMS should work. The wheels from my f56 just needed a reset

That’s great to hear. I did read somewhere that they were changing the frequency, I’m not sure if it matters but mine is going to be a 2026.
