Anyone running Rota RB's in 16x7???

Anyone running Rota RB's in 16x7??? I've taken quite an interest in these wheels, but I had a few questions about them. I'm sure there's a couple of r56's with these wheels somewhere on this board.... I have a few questions for you if you can help me out.... Are you running a +40 offset? I lowered my MINI and I've noticed that the rear in particular has very little clearance (I plan on running 215/45R16), so this is a concern for me. Also, do the stock TPMS sensors fit these wheels??? Any advice (or any pics) would help?

This is a very popular setup, mine are being delivered tomorrow. +40mm and 7" wide are the easiest to buy, I wanted 6.5" but no one had them. Can't comment on wider tires as I bought these for snow wheels.

I hope TPMS sensors fit, I have a set of Tire Rack sensors to buy.

post up a review when you have them mounted! I hope the TPMS sensors fit too... by the way, are there aftermarket sensors available? I always assumed that you are limited to OEM sensors

ROTA RBs

I'm running RBs with 40mm offset and 205/50/16 Kuhmo tires on my 2003 MCS. My ride height is stock so there's no clearance issues at all. Just looking at them, I'd suggest there wouldn't be, even with a lowered car.Using a 195 width tire would give a little more clearance to be sure, though.I have no idea about the sensors.
