Looking wheel/tire combo for rally style
Hello,
I have a JCW 2014 CM with stock JCW 18in rims. I'm planning on placing a 2in lift and Spare tire rack from M7. I want to change rims to 17in and put slightly taller tires. Too many pot holes where I live to stay low to the ground so I plan on going rally style, this offering from M7 "R60 Countryman Off-Road 2" Lift Kit Suspension Ultimate Adventure Bundle Stage 4" seems to be for me.
I get lost with tire sizes and since mine is not lifted yet, I don't have the luxury of trying this stuff out before I order it. M7 recommends 12-15mm spacers to clear rear sway bars 22 or 25mm. I'm looking to buy new wheels that would already have the backspacing adjusted to the new requirements for a 28.5 max tire diameter and wheel fitment in the JCW-CM I have.
Can anyone give me the back spacing on the 18in JCW wheels? or better yet, recommend 17in rim w/ corrected backspacng and tire combo for what I looking for?
Thanks

My wheels are e40, 17x8.5". They're designed to fit big brake kits for the track. I was surprised, in a good way, that there was so much room it cleared the 25mm RSB with no issues. I can take some pics later if you want to see how it looks.
