You can get cheaper tires and wheels then those for winter. No point in screwing them up. What model are they again cause they look pretty good?

 

17".... to fit over the JCW brakes

 

O.Z. LEGGENDA

 

so I'm looking at the Generals snows to put on them

 

I'm not exactly sure what size tires will fit on an R56. A 215/45/17 is what I run on my R53.

 

Depends on the offset but 205/215 are pretty safe.

 

Ordered them today hope they can get them, they're special order

 

Photos when you get them on.

 

My OZ's are still on back order until Jan. My wife helped pick out mud flaps today so I'm now going with the red rally armor ones

 

Also I have ordered new yellow fog light bulbs for my factory fog lights. In the future I'm hoping for a four lens light bar setup.

 

Could you post pictures once you install them? Been curious as to how these look on a MINI!

 

Oh I well

 

well ,I'll be knee deep in snow by then so if its gonna be that long I will need to pick somehting else
I should find out today

 

spacers came in yesterday, the 14" rims on a 22mm (.866") spacer still doesn't sit them out far enough to get them off the caliper. so i'm on the search again for rims. but the spacers will be a nice touch

 

14s really? 15s are a better choice they will at least fit.

 

i think i just said that

 

In a round about way.

 

didn't install the mudflaps or spacers (these wheels stick out further than my 7 hole wheels)

 

 

Those look great

 

Aye, very nice.

 

I have a friend that has those in bronze. Great looking wheels.

 

Does this count
Just went to a rally cross test day at a golf course lol

 

Im in.

Suggestion:
Ok easy with this, please read all the way through.

I would like to find a set of coil over suspension on which longer springs can be placed to raise the ride height of the car about an inch and a set of fender flares to install some bigger tires on. These springs would have a linear spring rate for ease of control and the extra inch of height would allow for about factory spring rates to be installed and still be able to hit some rougher gravel roads without bottoming out. I would also like to see the necessary parts to correct the change in suspension geometry for the extra inch of ride height.
To complete the look a nice set of (small as possible) 15X7" wheels that are very light weight so more sidewall can be put between the wheel and road to soak up the bigger bumps expected and offset the equal or stiffer suspension while offroad.

This is what I have in mind except without the roof lights and rack.

 

Sweet , looks great!
