Will 5mm Alta (H&R) spacer fit 2012 JCW Hatch?
I don't think I would ask this question if it wasn't for the statement on Alta's website "Fits ALL Cooper,Cooper S, Clubman, Clubman S models 2002-2010".
And then it says below that statement "2007+ All Use 14x1.25 Bolts"
So one statement sounds like they wouldn't fit and one sounds like they should.

I will as soon as I get the car. I hope to have it before this coming weekend. And it is being delivered to the shop that will be installing them along with a few other things. I will post them or i can also send you detailed pics if you want something specific.

Yes, she got KW V1 today with the 17" OZ wheels w 215/45's and 5mm spacers. I still don't have the car yet. I was just dropping some more parts off and took a few quick pics. I actually just had the shop throw a wheel on with the spacer to see what it looks like. I will probably pick her up tomorrow if not wednesday morning from that shop, then I am taking her to get a detail/stripes/tint etc...so I hope to have her back no later then friday.

Im probably going to head over and order those spacers as well. When you get a chance to finish it. Post some pics of what you've done because by the looks of it, it seems your building a pretty sweet ride.
Are you planning on tracking it?

Look great. I really like it. Especially your color combo looks sick.

Yes, I do plan on tracking the car. I just don't know when??... I want to make sure she is 100% ready for the track.
Whats been done...and some more pictures
I really do like the way the stance turned out, and it doesn't hurt giving it a little wider stance in the turns either.

Would you mind to upload a bigger and closer pic with the spacer installed? Basically, if the 2nd pic is bigger, it would be sufficient. I just want to see if the spacer has a smaller diameter than the contact area of the rotor and wheel. Thanks!

Hey PHX, what kinda offset those 17's have? I ran into a problem clearing my 17x7.5's 45mm from the inside and and am unsure whats a good spacer size to go with. I dont mind being a lil stanced, but def dont wanna over do it
PS. I'm on OEM suspension and wanted to swap rims, keep my run flats. 205/45's

The OZ's have a 37mm offset. I wouldn't think you would have any problem with what you have. I am about 1.5 lower all around with the 5mm spacer and 215's and have only a slight rub on the rear driver side when the suspension compresses at speed sometimes. I am probably just going to shave a little of the plastic around the wheel well.
