Working on winter rims for my recently purchased 2009 Convertible S.
Trying to figure out if the 8 spoke stock wheels from 2005 will fit. Will I need:
1) new lug nuts
2) spacers (whatever those are)
Thanks for your help

Those are S-Lites (which are actually not very light), and will fit any 2002+ MINI except the 2008+ JCW model. No spacers or different lug bolts required.

Dan,
Thanks for your help! Picked them up today, now I have to decide on snow tires. The limited number of 17" runflat snows should make my decision easier. Thanks again.

They will fit with no modifications. Check out my post "Pics of R53 rims on R56" in this forum and you'll see.
