17 x 7 x et43 with 225's (rubbing?)

Hey guys, new to everything that has to do with mini coopers and also new to venturing away from stock wheels.

I have a set of enkei RPF1's in the dims i made the title. I need new rubber and i am going to order the Michelin PSS in 225/45ZR17.

has anyone ran these dimensions and if so, is there any rub? my mini is a 2010 MCS stock height. Eventually plan to drop her with some coils but for now i only have a bank account that can afford tires. Please let me know! I would love to have some insight on what you think is the best set up


PS my bad if this gets posted in the wrong area. I suck with forums

I run 235/40/17 on 7.5 rim et 45 and dropped 2". NO RUBBING. The key to wheel fitment is offset and back spacing. Measure 3x and you won't be srry once.
