Just a quick clearance question. Will I have any clearance or rubbing issues if I put a set of the the 17x7 ultraleggeras with 215/45r17 wheels? I have the 2nd gen R56 JCW big brake kit.

Tire rack says the wheel offset on the new wheels is 37mm. Thanks.

 

Those OZ wheels will clear the JCW big brakes just fine. But I am not sure if that offset might cause rubbing with 215/45/17 tires. You may want to call TireRack. Or just go with 205/45/17 tires to be safe.

 

Thanks, that was a typo I meant 205/45/17.

 

You should be ok with that setup.

 

On my R56 2006 car (yours is an 07 R53 isn't it?) I have 17" Ultraleggera in ET37 and 215/45/17 which fit fine lowered on Bilstein PSS10.

The offset and wider tyre do kick up more muck on the car however.

 

Mine is an R56.

 

So it is. Saw the tint looking foglight and thought it was R53 just obscured from view a little due to the JCW Bumper.

I got mine in silver for a good price an dgot them powdercoated white to replace the old white crown spokes which match the white stripes and roof.

If you need pics from any angle let me know as cleaning the car later.

 

Forgot to mention also using the Brembos. Loads of room.
