New guy on board!!!

Hey folks, the name is Ivan.

I never thought i'd ever get behind the wheel of a MINI, but after falling in love with the GP, I told myself i HAD to get one.

So here i am with a 2014 Cooper S in volcanic orange.

I know the car is fairly new, i been looking all over for some weathertech, but it appears they havent got those in the making yet.

On top of that, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what is the widest tire i can fit on the F56.
Looking for somewhere along the line of a 17" wheel, with the widest setting possible.

I just absolutely hate the skinny tires on the Gen 3 Mini, especially when they bloated up the Body style!!!

welcome! I'm 100% with you on the tires but I understand they are keeping a fuel efficiency in mind when developing them. I plan to run 1 size wider (215/45/17) on some wider lightweight wheels. Still undecided on which wheels as the aftermarket for this car is taking its sweet time!

are you listening vendors? lol
