Hi all. I recently purchased a 2013 Mini Countryman S All4 and am looking to upgrade the wheels. I have stock suspension. I am currently considering two options:

1. 245/40r19 tire on 19x8.5 +45 offset rim

2. 225/40r19 tire on 19x8.5 +45 offset rim


I'd prefer to go with option 1, but I have a suspicion that it will not fit with stock suspension. Has anyone here tried that combo? Did it fit?

If not, then can anyone confirm that option 2 will fit on stock suspension?

I've searched the forum a bit, but couldn't find definitive answers. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

If you have the OEM regular suspension, both sizes should fit with no problem.


I have the OEM sport suspension, which is lower than the OEM regular suspension. I used to run NM Eng RSe14 wheels (19x8.0 +45mm) with 245/40/19 Sumitomo HTRZIII tires, and the rear rubbed very slightly on large freeway dips.


I'm selling the RSe14 wheels, BTW. =)

 

Thanks for the feedback!

I ended up going with 19x8 et42 rims with 225/40r19 tires. I do have the sport-tuned suspension, and I am often carrying multiple people, so I went with the narrower tire and rim just to be safe.

 

stock 19s are 19x7.5 et 52 using 225/40R19 tires

goto willtheyfit.com to compare the stock size tire/wheel to the size you want to run

 

Did you ever get these? Pics? Did u do the 45 offset?
