Hi Everyone,

I would just like to ask the advise of experts here if the new RAYs VOLK TE37SL 17x 17.5 will fit the Mini JCW cooper 2009. Will the brembo brakes fit in the rims?

If ever the rims will be perfect, what would be the adviseable size for the tires (205/215/225)?

Im just a newbie here.

Hope someone can help me on this.

Thanks!!!

 

Should fit no probs. I'd go 215.

 

Whether or not will fit will depend on what offset the wheel is.

 

aklucsarits, offset of the rims will be +40. Its a volks TE37SL 17 x 7.5 PCD 100.

You think I wont have any problem with this? What size tires you suggets also? Thanks...

 

Make sure you get the stud conversion kit

I test fitted a set of TE37SL's on my MINI (1st gen, though) a few months back with a 12.2" Wilwood kit with plenty of room between the caliper & the spokes. The TE37SL had a 215/45R17 mounted on them that time which looked too tall for the R53 IMO but I think it should look ok on a 2nd gen

 

Thanks for all the replies, Senior cooperians. Will post pics when I finish with my set up..
Many thanks and happy motoring!

 

Pics please!!!
