Hi there,

I wonder if the 17" Conical Spoke rims from the 2010 Cooper S fit on the John Cooper Works because of the bigger brakes?

Thanks in advance

 

BUMP! I would love to know this too. I had the old version of this in white on my 04 MCS and loved the look. I am strongly considering just having my stock wheels from my JCW powder coated white if I do not get this answer.
OR I have a place that has refurbed JCW Accessory wheels and I could have them powder coat those for something truly unique.. But would love to have conical wheels in white.

 

Sad news: They do not fit :(

 

they should !? what hit?

 

The breake calliper gets in contact with the rim well.

 

oh wow. wonder if they are even BIGGER on the newest JCWs then...

is it the spokes? maybe a 5mm spacer would cure it if so?

 

Yes, 5-10mm spacer on each side and they could fit.
But I didn't even consider this "solution" because I don't drive with positive chamber on my wheels.
The funny thing is that the technical documents from our technical control board state that the rims are allowed and fit for the JCW.
Very reliable...

 

Ah gotcha.. You can go up to about an et35-38 without adding camber. If the Conicals are the usual et48, I think its a viable solution. Spacers are not that cheap though, for anything worth having.

 

I have a set of pre TPMS super lite 17" rims with Blizaks on my JCW clubman ran them all winter with no issues as to fit or handeling. The solution for me was use 15mm spacers and ignore the TPMS icon on the speedo. I also spaced the rear out 5mm to help balance things out though clearance was not an issue on the rear. Take it easy,But take it Ken R.
