Bit of a cheek i know but could you measure the gap between the spoke and the caliper.I am trying to work out if the 18" size on this wheel will fit my JCW.

So, you needed centering rings. We're they metal or plastic? And did the JCW center caps fit proper without mods?

I wonder if 7.5" rim width might give a bit more side room near the strut? I was thinking 18"x7.5" ET45 with 225/35/18s for my JCW at some point. So glad some owners are having success with optional wheel figments!

Last edited by countryshooter; Feb 20, 2016 at 10:36 AM. Reason: 35 might be little too low of profile better chance in damaging rims on potholes

Awesome...thanks! 215/40's seems a safe bet! ET40 should push the tires outward some to look better overall! Let us know how they look mounted if you would. I wonder if mudflaps might be advisable with the wider stance?

So, NM now makes that wheel as a stock item for the JCW? Or is it still special order?

I'll also be test fitting TSW Interlagos 17x8 et45. I ordered 1 of each, but I already decided on the Enkei TS9.
