Max Tire and Rim Size?
I have an 06 Mini S, I picked up a set of ULTRIK lowering springs, but I want to get some new wheels.

i know for my stock 05 MCS i was able to fit 18" wheels with 215/35/18 so that might help out a little bit. how much do the springs lower the car?

it's not the lowering part that is the problem, a thin rubber can be done, it's more of the width of the tires. I dont think 8" wide tires will fit.. i think the max is 7 1/2" width.

You haven't provided sufficient info to answer the question ...
What is the diameter and offset of the wheels?

I have heard of 7 n 1/2in no problem, but im not so sure you can do eight inches unless you get some wheel spacers and then its gonna look like a lowrider

Yea I know you can run 8 in the fronts, but I'm wondering about 8.5. The rims I want are either 17x8 or 18x8.5 and I really want 18's.
