09 on an 06???

Quick one here: Any reason I can't use set of 09 16" OEM Mini wheels on my 06 Cooper?? I know about TPMS but are there any other issues? Thanks.

In my quest to find a donut spare, I found this link for bolt pattern and wheel sizing that may help.

does the 06 have the larger 14mm lugs? I dont think that is an issue though. From what i've seen they should be just fine

theyre all 4X100 w something like a mid-40's offset. (i think my stockers were et48)

see this

They will fit, if that's your question. I was running a set of 17" S-Lites off an '07 on my '03, and never had any issues. The standard brakes on the '09 are larger than the S brakes on the '06, so they'll clear OK.

TPMS sensors won't present a problem for the '06 since it doesn't use that system. You'll need them on your '09 tho, or you'll have a warning lite on all the time - which I do on mine since I'm running those same S-lites on my '09 now, doesn't seem to bother anything tho....
