R56 Rota Grid V 16x9

I love the way the Rota grid Vs look on the r53 and was wondering why there aren't more on R56s. Is it a fitment issue, production issue? I'm looking to get 16x9 with a 45 tyre which I wouldn't think they have any issue with rubbing at all? I really do love the way these rims look and if there is anyone who may be able to help me figure out why they aren't more popular on r56s it would be a blessing. Thanks!

16x9 is a wide tire for the R56. The stock wheels are tight to the strut already, and you’ll need wider fender flares to get them to fit the outside.

Makes sense. I am also planning on lowering my mini so rubbing would definitely be an issue. Im not trying to add spacers or anything of that sort, so my rim search will continue. Thank you for the help !
