Thanks danjreed, junkart, and minsanity. Looks like there are five or six different factors to consider. Makes me think we are very limited in aftermarket wheel choices. Perhaps I'll just stick to OEM wheels for my winter set...

 

5x112 is one of the most popular bolt patterns for aftermarket wheels on earth.

 

Unfortunately, the many 5 x 112 wheels I like are only available in 18"+ sizes, and I am looking for 17" winter wheels. Also, the width and offsets do not match the F56 OEM wheels. So your general statement is correct, as is my more specific one (due to the 5 or 6 different factors we must consider, not just the bolt pattern).

 

Sorry, I keep forgetting this is NAM. If you're only going look at wheels that are the same size / offset as the stock wheels, then yes you will be restricted quite heavily.

 

VicSkimmr, any idea what offsets would be safe for OEM brake clearance, and also would not cause the wheel/tire combo to stick out past the fender liners/flares?

 

For an S or a base model? I doubt we'll have any clearance issues with the base model. I'm not sure what the S brakes look like.

 

Asking for the S. If you find out more info in the future, I'd definitely appreciate it if you could pm me or update this thread.

Thanks in advance...

 

Unfortunately MINI kept the 14x1.25 lugs which is not available in ball seat. Trust me, I looked :(

 

I'll try to find out, though with people getting them delivered now it might be easier to have one of them test. I already feel bad for having multiple people put them up on lifts to figure out the PCD, lol.

 

Sounds like a good business opportunity for a vendor. A machine shop should be able to produce it easily.

 

I've ordered my wheels today



They are Speedline Marmora's. Their latest wheel.

I have gone for:

18x8
5x112
ET 45

I will wait & see how they sit & if needs be, bang on a set of 12mm hubcentric spacers!

 

Sick..are they silver or white?

 

Ice White

 

why is this almost 4 pages long for just a simple question?

 

Because we all thought it was one PCD and it turned out that nobody knew what they were talking about, except apparently junkart haha.

 

VERY nice wheel!

 

Thanks - another pic (or two!)
