Thumbs up Pics: 19" Wheels on Countryman.

Looks to see pics of Countrymans on 19" rims.
Aiming to compile all 19" CM pics here as I have run across only a few in random links to other threads.

I ordered my Countryman ALL4 w/ the factory 17" A/S RF. Figure I'll use these in the winter & during spring pot-hole season.
I'm really considering a 19" as I know I will be upgrading to at least 18" rims in the near future.


I am well aware of the ride quality, unsprung weight, acceleration etc.

I just think the 19" fit the body/look very well.

If you are posting pics &/or feedback of your CM w/ 19's. Please state if it also has the factory Sport Suspension, or any aftermarket springs.

(*if possible, width, offset, tire size, use of spacers would also be greatly appreciated) TIA.

Hello, that CM looks killer.

Could you tell me what tire specs is using there?

I was about to bye the same rims/specs but tires I'm not so sure what size should work for me, I don't want mine to be rubbing when putting weight on the back. I will appreciate your input. Thanks

That is not my white car in the pic, but I have the same size wheels (19x8.5+42) and I'm using Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport in size 245/40/19.

Thank you for the response.

No rubbing issues. The tire diameter is only 3% more than stock. Suspension is stock right now, I actually have a set of NM lowering springs but haven't had a chance to put them on yet.

Assuming you're talking about an 8.5" wide wheel, then 45 should be okay, it's only 3mm more inward than my 42.

The 35 is going to stick out past the fenders a bit and not look as good.

They don't show that wheel in a 5x120 bolt pattern on their fitment chart. It looks like the only wheel they offer in 5x120 bolt pattern, size 19x8.5, with correct offset, is the Concept-10 in either Matte Black, Hyperblack, or Machined.

On my '05 Cooper S I had 18" Tenzo Mach-10 wheels that looked really good on the car, but they don't make those anymore.

Got it. Your original link was to the Type-M, so I thought that was the wheel you wanted.

I was about to buy this ones

rubbing issue never happen in my case as i'm using stock springs.

I use 42 for both front and rear, i find it is perfect fit to the front, but for the rear, there are space for moving outward a bit.

I saw ppl using 35 for both front and rear in this forum. (You can do some search and see the outcome.)

so I would recommend u 45 for the front and the rear, or try a 35 for the rear.

For the tire i use michelin PSS 225/40/19.

here ac-schnitzer for your reference.

are you guys looking under AWD(xi) BMW models for the rim offerings on the rack/discount tire etc?
I'm looking at the Axis XMX Matte Grey for my LW/Blk CM
there were not a lot of great looks, I know the non staggered BMW stuff can fit(some might require rings?) & likely has a ton more variety.
