Anybody installed any wider tires and wheels on their F56?This car needs wider tires due to its bulky body.205/45/18 look too narrow
Looking for any suggestions other than the JCW 18 cross spokes.

Just watch out for dings or getting bent on 18" rims since it will require even lower profile tires. Where I live, there so many potholes on our freeways and it's scary to drive in fear of damaging rims.

Check the wheel fitment thread. A couple of people were talking about 18x8 not that long ago.

Plug in your existing wheel size that fits and you can use this tool to estimate what will fit. Wider wheels on these cars doesn't seem to be terribly popular yet

Tire size calculator

Also - this post will most likely be helpful 18x8 ET 45 with 205/40 tires:

According to the configuration tool the 18's come with 225/45. I ordered the 18" Two Tone Mini Yours Vanity Spoke on my car.

I bought a set of the MINI 506 wheels, and the tires are 205. Maybe in the US they are 225.

18" wheels/wide tires
I run a 225/40/18 on a r113 wheel. How much wider a wheel do you need if u cannot utilize the correct sized tire?
