Hello everyone!!

I've just ordered my first mini, 2013 Clubman S in Eclipse Gray

I'm planning to use the stock 16" for winter use/Blizzak, and purchase a 17" for every other season. I've read the "clubman wheel thread" and now I'm little bit more educated but would love hear some advice to make sure. The recommended there was 17x7 et 40 ~ 50 but wanted to know if these are still doable as some people are running 17x8 et 35 as well.

- Question: Will these wheel fit?

- Goal: no rubbing issue with stock suspension. Does not poke out of fender or just very little/flush fitment. I'm aiming as low offset as possible without poke.

1. Advan RS - 17x7.5 et 35 with 215/45/17
2. Advan RS - 17x7.5 et 41 with 215/45/17
3. Volk TE37L - 17x7.5 et 40 with 215/45/17

Thank you!!

 

you should be fine with those. I was running 18x7.5 with 225/40/18 and i had no problems..

 

Thank you for the clarification! Now I would need research on how I would convert the M14 to M12

 

hey there minikuppa...

what did you end up with? I'm also looking for the exact same thing (stock suspension, no 'poke'). I'm hoping for a 17x7.5 rim, 35 offset, 215/45/17. So far, I've seen mixed feedback on rubbing/fitment.

let me know if you've heard / experienced anything further. thanks.

 

Bump... Also interested in more feedback...

 

I've got myself the Volk TE37SL in 17x7.5 +40 with 214/45/17 ContiExtreme DW. Good part: great look, barely not poking. Bad: it rubs very slightly with heavy load on highway bumps as the suspension travels alot on stock.

Hope this helps.... overall, no regrets :D slight touch of camber may solve the issue so I'm heading back to Discount Tire this month

 

I'm on rota 17x7.5 45 offset with kuhmo 215/45/17 and with a load as in 2 or more people and 100 pounds in the cargo area I can hear a light rub sometimes. I see a few spots were the carpet gets "cleaned" inside the fender a bit, not enough to worry about.

I'm not sure how any one gets 8" wide as my wheels clear the front struts by less than a 1/4" , maybe less offset but I'm close on the outer fender now, never hits but I don't want it to either.

I wished I had 7" wide rims then I could have gone with 205's , as my 7.5" with 215's are pretty much straight , I HATE the stretched look , I like my rubber to be as wide as the wheels.

Down side, 17's do ride harsher than 16's. NO WAY I'd go to 18 or God forbid 19 on this car.
