Your car is going to look amazing with those on.

I decided to put my oems on for winter so I guess I’m in for a surprise in spring.

Finally got around to installing these for summer. Guess it’s time to swap out the ski rack.

Thanks!
It’s growing on me. The open wheel design shows a lot. The stance Is much better they sit properly flush. I’m not hating on it, especially not for the price and quality. They don’t look too aftermarket racer, it’s kind of a BMW oem style. No idea what to do next, I’d love to drop it but my wife would not be impressed

18" Staggered wheel fitment

Quick question for you all.
I have an opportunity to pick up some BMW M wheels for AX, 18X8 ET34 and 18X8.5 ET37 for my 2015 R60, Is anyone running an 18 with this small of an offset? Obviously I'll have to balance sizes to get the rolling diameters to match for the TCS. I'm worried that they'll 'Poke' out too far and rub under cornering loads.
Any input would be helpful, TIA.

Personally, I wouldn't run a staggered set up unless the car was biased towards rear wheel drive, which the Countryman is not. Even if the tire sizes are the same, it will mess with the handling and dynamics design.

Actually, Inverted Stagger was what we were going for, since its FWD.
