Pros vs Cons?

Does the extra cm(50) really make a difference on those bumpy roads? Saving some stress on your mini? Smoother ride and better handling? Not really look that much thicker than a 45....?

I would like some help and feedback being I need to decide in a day or two what i wanna do?

Pictures of the two on a clubbie would be nice to see to for a good visual...Thanks guys hope you can help.

 

Not directly responsive, when I was in your situation but with 16", I went with 205/55 instead of the closer-to-stock-circumference 205/50, for the same reasons as you postulate. If I had it to do over again, I think I would go with the lower profile, i.e. 205/50-16.

 

It should help correct the speedometer error. When I get around to changing my tires, I'm either going with 205/50-17's or 215/45-17's. I'd like to see pictures of each of them on a Clubman S.

 

Pictures please of 205/50/17 and 215/45/17?

Anyone? R55 or R56?

 

These are 205/45/17's.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.

 

MoxieMini, Thanks it does help for wheel gap and whatnot...

Hmmm....

205/50/17's anyone?

 

No problem. You should see the wheel gap with the new TSW's on. Mmmm... delicious. I'll post pics of it once they settle some more.

Oh... and FYI, going to a 205/50 is going to mess with your speedo, mileage (in a good way), and odometer.

 

205/50 will also look really goofy You're best off with the 205/45. They'll still be nice and comfy without looking too balloony , raising ride height, and throwing off the speedo/gearing.

 

will 215/45/17's fit w/o rubbing if i'm lowered on H&R springs?

 

CALLING ALL MINI OWNERS!!!!!!!

Get us a picture of 205/50's please....hahahaha....we are all dying to see exactly what the outcome looks like.....

Thank you in advance!

 

205/50/17 on stock MINI wheels.

way too much sidewall IMO

 

Wow. Yeah, go with the 205/45. That doesn't look very good.
