I would have been perfectly happy with 18" x 7.5" rims like the MINI configurator said for the two-tone cup spokes (may still say this!), but they are obviously only 7" wide.
I believe an 18" x 7.5" rim with 215/40/18's might be the ticket, even though they may throw the speedo off a wee bit.
I doubt anything wider will work on the F56 from what I've seen so far...time will tell.

I just had 225/40/18's installed today on the stock JCW cup spoke wheels. I'm running 12mm H&R spacers on the front and 15mm on the rear. No issues at all.
FWIW - I also called Jerry @ NM today to ask about their wheels because two of my wheels are slightly bent. They balanced but I will probably replace after this winter. He said he can modify the VW wheels to fit however they are 18x8 and he said the 215's rub when cornering hard. So the 225's will be an issue. He believes if I run 5mm spacers it will center the wheel and have no issues. I owe him a few pics of my setup so he can determine what will fit.

Really? Part number end in 900? Where is it stamped on the wheel? I was told by multiple sources they were 7". Good news if they were wrong. I have not had the wheels off my car to check!

Slightly shorter (for lowered cars) & only .4 inches wider on the inside and outside.

I think this tire size will work best with no issues on 18x8.

After a 16+ week wait to get these gloss black gems made, they just showed up from The UK via FedEx.
18x8 e45 with gloss black finish. I will mount 235-35-18 inch rubber nxt. spring.
Should look trick plus the brake calipers will be visible & easy to clean. The oem track spoke 205-45-17 all season's will stay on for the winter.
The finish is 1st rate. A bargain for such a lite weight wheel @ just over 1k.

WHy is it 9" wide? Shouldn't it be 8?
Thanks. Installing any time soon?
