Recently got 3sdm 005's 16x8 front and back, for my 2009 Mini Cooper s, they are wrapped in Yokohama s drives 195/40/16 the wheels and tires fit on the car great there's a problem, I want to have slight tuck and when I set my ride height in the front to tuck my skid plate is only 1/2 an inch of the ground and the car is undrivable I need to figure out how to get my fitment back in the front any ideas?

 

Here's a photo of the wheel gap, I want to go lower but I'm not sure if I can

 

Here's the clearance between the ground and my skid plate

 

If you want tuck then you need a taller tire, which will look bloated, so you'll need a larger wheel diameter. You currently have *actually* low, not aesthetic low.

It also looks like you have either not enough positive offset in the wheel, or not enough camber to tuck a taller tire.

 

yeah that's what I thought ,the back fits perfect with these tires but I guess in order to be fitted all the way around I'll need higher profile tires thanks for the help

 

do you have any suggestions for my next set of tires?
