I have a 2006 Mini Cooper s r53 with factory 17. I have a chance to purchase some really nice wheels but I can't get a clear answer if they will fit. They are 4x100 17x7 -35 offset. I know the size is fine but the offset is what I can't get a clear answer. The guy who has them seems to think they won't fit. Any help is appreciate.

 

If I'm reading that correctly as negative 35 mm offset, they really won't work.
They will stick way out.
Offsets of about +35 to +50 will work with 205/45/17 tires and 17x17 wheels.

 

Thanks for the reply that's what the seller said but I was making sure

 

Hi jaiello:

Here's an application guide that shows which wheels fit which models. Hope this helps!

Are you sure you aren't confused and mean a +35 offset? +35 offset will fit just fine, I fit +20 under mine (barely) but +35 will only be a slight offset from the factory wheels.

 

The seller posted -35 offset I will ask again I thought the same thing.
