Will 215-40-18 With 18X8 Et45 Work?

Hi, I did try to search without to much luck. I have a 2024 2 door hardtop JCW with stock 18" wheels. With no all season tires in the stock 205 -40's I'm thinking to go with 215-40-18 with an aftermarket wheel 18X8 et45. I'm not planning on lowering it. Will this work? I'm not looking to have front will poke. Anyone with this setup? I would love to see some pictures. Thanks

I have a 2017 F56 JCW (White Silver/ red roof). I'm currently running 215/40/18 Michelin AS3+ on nM RSe12's (Gun metal).

Just did a tire rotation, haven't let the e-brake off yet.......lol

Excuse the poor quality photo, car is NOT lowered.

Looks great... Do you know what the offset or et is on the wheels? Side note where did you get the splash guards from? I'm wondering if they will work on my 24?

This was taken after I installed the mud flaps, before I changed wheels. Same 215/40/18's.
18 by 7.5 with 40mm offset, as per their site. I bought the mud flaps from ECS.................they say they don't fit the JCW (I have the JCW Pro rear installed) but they will..............as you can see.........lol.

Thanks… The front splash guards will work but my rear diffuser is different which is a bummer. I really want to put a set on the car. With the new wheel and tire set up I’m looking at it seems my will stick out farther than yours, but not sure how much more.

Updated, thanks for the heads up as realoem and MINI ETK says they don't fit. Did you get the front to fit on the JCW side skirts? I cant see if you have them on in the picture on the front because of the glare.
