Bolt pattern for 2012 Countryman S

I read here: http://www.motoringfile.com/2012/01/...ails-revealed/

That the bolt pattern for the CM is 5x120, correct? and that the bolt dimensions are 14x1.25. Am I reading this correctly?

If so, then most BMW 1 and 3 series wheels should fit (matched bolt patterns), right?

Does anyone know the maximum offset we can run?

I'm running +35 fine on stock sport suspension with no rubbing.I don't recommend going lower than that.

ok, I want to go with 18x8 (or 8.5) both front and back if possible and use the lowering springs from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-R-SPORT-LO...-/320793059950

I just got my 18x8 35mm offset wheels today, gonna fit them with 245/40/18s to keep as close to stock diameter as possible.

18x8.5 35mm offset was on my list, but it would need the JCW bodykit for sure and i dont plan on getting that for a while, therefore got the 18x8 instead.

personally I think the 18x8.5 will look the best coupled with the JCW kit, but it's pretty much at the limits. I wouldn't recommend 9" wide rims, it'll look too pushed out for our car.
