I'm hoping to consolidate a Countryman 18" Wheel Thread w/ Info & Pics(of corse).

If you are running 18" wheels on your Countryman, please post up.

I think adding this info to each post/pic will help immensely.

My countryman is on order w/ the factory 17" w/ A/S RF's.
I am trying to decide if I want 18 or 19" aftermarket rims.
I will likely be opting for either General AS-03 or Conti Exteme Contact DWS.
(both UHP A/S)
Not 100% sure if I will be staying w/ the recommended size of 225/45 18 or something else.

 

here is a 235/50 18x8 (ET46)




and a 225/50 18


and for looks a 245/40 18

225/45 18

Wheels aren't normally my thing, but I'm really glad I opted for these.

 

The Grey Beastie

 

Here is my R60 S ALL 4 with 18" wheels.

The wheels are upgraded from stock 18" rims to Breyton GTS-R 18s (18"x8.5" 48mm Offset) with Pirelli 235/50 Scorpion Verde All Season non run flat tires. No rubbing issues. Even with the new larger tire the new rims save me 10lbs per corner over stock rims with stock run flats. (47 lbs vs 57 lbs)

 

Sweet!

 

Adding another to this thread.

 

Looks very cool...where did you get that roof basket?!!?!?

 

It is a Rhino Rack Cargo Basket. http://www.rhinorack.com/AccSubCateg...askets_74.aspx

 

I probably need some better pictures, but I got the 18"s on the car as part of the purchase - love them! Sorry for the bad top picture not really SHOWING the wheels - haha

the photos are after 3 weeks and 1000+ miles without washing ... the oem pads just don't make much brake dust at all

I ordered my R60 with the 18" anthracite wheels. Love the way it looks. Just need to sock away money for another set of wheels with winter tires. Summers are far from ideal in a New England winter but they've done pretty well in nasty weather so far.

 

Testfitted my DD's setup.
