JCW Will 5mm Alta (H&R) spacer fit 2012 JCW Hatch?
Will 5mm Alta (H&R) spacer fit 2012 JCW Hatch?
I don't think I would ask this question if it wasn't for the statement on Alta's website "Fits ALL Cooper,Cooper S, Clubman, Clubman S models 2002-2010".
And then it says below that statement "2007+ All Use 14x1.25 Bolts"
So one statement sounds like they wouldn't fit and one sounds like they should.

Best guess is that the info showing 2002-2010 has not been updated and that they will fit.
Recommend directly contacting them for clarification.
Don’t forget to also order longer bolts if it is confirmed the spacers do fit and you do order them.

Can you post pics please. I'm thinking of ordering some too, but I'm not sure if 5 mm is enough to make the wheels stand out? On my e46 m3 I had 12mm on front and 8mm on the rear and it look pretty good.

I will as soon as I get the car. I hope to have it before this coming weekend. And it is being delivered to the shop that will be installing them along with a few other things. I will post them or i can also send you detailed pics if you want something specific.
That would great thanks.
To me the 5mm is about the max I would to go with the setup I have now.
here are some pics for your reference. I will post more once i have everything dialed in. I hope this helps

Yes, she got KW V1 today with the 17" OZ wheels w 215/45's and 5mm spacers. I still don't have the car yet. I was just dropping some more parts off and took a few quick pics. I actually just had the shop throw a wheel on with the spacer to see what it looks like. I will probably pick her up tomorrow if not wednesday morning from that shop, then I am taking her to get a detail/stripes/tint etc...so I hope to have her back no later then friday.
Im probably going to head over and order those spacers as well. When you get a chance to finish it. Post some pics of what you've done because by the looks of it, it seems your building a pretty sweet ride.
Are you planning on tracking it?
Look great. I really like it. Especially your color combo looks sick.

Yes, I do plan on tracking the car. I just don't know when??... I want to make sure she is 100% ready for the track.
Whats been done...and some more pictures
I really do like the way the stance turned out, and it doesn't hurt giving it a little wider stance in the turns either.


Would you mind to upload a bigger and closer pic with the spacer installed? Basically, if the 2nd pic is bigger, it would be sufficient. I just want to see if the spacer has a smaller diameter than the contact area of the rotor and wheel. Thanks!
I will post in the next couple days when I get back in town.
Hey PHX, what kinda offset those 17's have? I ran into a problem clearing my 17x7.5's 45mm from the inside and and am unsure whats a good spacer size to go with. I dont mind being a lil stanced, but def dont wanna over do it
PS. I'm on OEM suspension and wanted to swap rims, keep my run flats. 205/45's

The OZ's have a 37mm offset. I wouldn't think you would have any problem with what you have. I am about 1.5 lower all around with the 5mm spacer and 215's and have only a slight rub on the rear driver side when the suspension compresses at speed sometimes. I am probably just going to shave a little of the plastic around the wheel well.
