Minimum size wheels on 2017 justa Clubby?
We have an old set of wheels with good snow tires (leftover from a TDI VW), and rather than sell, I'm considering keeping them for use on the Clubman in winter. They're the standard German car 5 x 112 bolt pattern used on VW, Audi, BMW, Mini, etc. Offset 50 mm, Center Bore 57.1 mm.
Only problem is, they're 16" wheels and the Clubby comes with 17s. Allegedly the larger front disc rotor on the Mini is 11.6", so in theory they should fit. Also the existing Mini tires are 225-45-R17, which equates to 25" x 8.9", and the snows are 205-55-R16, which is 24.9" x 8.1". Thus, they should fit in the wheel wells and not rub when turning.
Has anyone tried putting 16" wheels on a new Clubman? Will they clear the brake calipers?
