Is anyone running 17" ASA AR 1 or 2 wheels with JCW brakes on a R56 or R55? I am thinks about upgrading the brakes on my Clubman and wanted to be sure they would fit. Thanks,

 

The the only oem 17s that fit are the Challenge wheels and they are a ET48 offset. So you will need at least that offset of ET48, guess maybe a spoke design close to outside edge of barrel to allow fitment too. Also could always run 5mm spacers, too.

 

Just as info, the ASA AR2 17x7 et 42 wheels work with the JCW brake calipers.

 

5-7mm spacer from MINI madness

 

I really do not want to use spacers and there was about 5 to 10mm of clearance on the face of the caliper.
