New owner with tire / wheel question

Just picked up a 2015 JCW with 509 MINI JCW Wheel 18" (5x112) Cup Spoke Gloss Turned wheels and run-flats. I would like to get non run-flats but Tire Rack shows none that will fit the rims. Is Tire Rack correct or can non run-flats be mounted on the rims?

Appreciate your help. (I have not idea why the font is so huge!)

This is the wheel

Tire Rack will sell you non run-flats for that car.

I've probably bought 20 sets from them in the last fifteen years, spread over four Mini Coopers.

Cheers,

Charlie

It's the rim the rim dimensions they don't seem to recognize. Am I missing something?

Those are 18x7” wheels.
Go with 205/40/18 tires.
Here are some from tire rack:
(5 non run flats and 4 runflats listed)
