18 x 7.5 with 45mm backspacing

anybody running this setup on their mini? I'm pretty sure they will fit, and I tried searching but couldn't find what I was looking for. If you are running this setup, what size tire are you using?

Thanks for the help.

That's what my wheels are exactly. With 215/35-18 Kumho MX's, I've plenty of room (ok plenty is relative, I only rub a tiny bit). When these wear out, I'm going to a bigger tire...because I can Either that or put 5mm spacers to make 'em even more flush

i thinking about running 225/40/18 on the 18 X 7.5 rim with a 45mm offset. The car is not lowered and we don't plan to lower it... will they fit? or will they rub?
