I have 225x40x18 no issues! Lowered with H&R springs
Did you have to use spacers? I ended up needing 15mm spacers up front on my current wheel setup and am thinking of getting some OZs instead but want to minimize spacers if possible.
That's awesome that you didn't need spacers. How much clearance do the front brake calipers have?
Also, do you have any suspension mods? Looks lowered...

3mm clearance for the brakes.
Suspension mods will be KWV3, NM rear sways and end links, NM Rear Control arms, Craven speed big pairs, NM Front Strut Bar, Powerflex PP suspension mount throughout.

Does anyone have wheel hub and brake caliper profile measurements or CAD drawings? This coupled with wheel manufacturer profile measurements would make measuring clearances way easier.
I finally got the wheels last Sunday and mounted rubber today. Advan RS-DF Progressive, T-6061 aluminum and fully forged. At 18lbs for a 19 inch wheel, it should be a noticeable difference. These wheels can accomodate brake discs up to 400mm and will easily clear the calipers which is what I needed. They are 19x8j, et48...I am going to run 5mm spacers up front and 10 in the rear...
@shadow993 Can you share pictures with these on the car? I would like to see the front caliper clearance as well as fitment under wheel well. What year JCW do you have?
On this one MINI made a set of JCW wheels for the BBK (Factory JCW Big Brake kit) and a Set for normal brakes. One says JCW BBK and ones say just JCW.
It does not happen also, my guess is the JCW brakes came out in development after MINI already had the wheels casted from Ronal who is the OEM contract on most MINI wheels right now.
