R56 Offset help
Offset help
Im looking to mount 16x7 and 16x8 wheels on my 2013 and I wanted input on whats the minimum and maximum offsets I can have. I dont plan to drop the car nor do I want them to poke or have any rubbing issues.
Any useful input appreciated.

Here is my favorite online wheel calculator:
https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/
Youll have to go around the car and get a couple measurements to start, but then it will tell you where to look for clearance with the new wheel and tire set.

I'm running Konig Dekagrams in 17x8 ET45 rear, ET42 including a 3mm spacer up front to clear the strut.
Tires are 225/45R17 General G-Max RS.
Slightly lower than stock on a Bilstein B12 Pro Kit
Rubs on the plastic fender lips in the back over bumps if it's loaded up with 250+lbs of rear seat passengers.
You could maybe get another 5-10mm offset out of it if you aggressively trim things and live with some rub, or run narrower/smaller diameter tires.
Not the best pictures to gauge fitment, but better than nothing:

My suggestion: do NOT run staggered wheel / tires on the Mini. Especially with smaller tires in the front, the car will handle and drive very poorly. The car is designed to have same size tires front and rear.

Hey, stock 17" wheel spec is: Stock 17x7" Wheels: Backspace ET48. When I ran the stock wheels, I used a 215/45-17 tire all around. An ET32 is not correct for a 7" wide wheel.
hi, i'm looking for som speedline toriniand they come in 17x7 +30, i would like to use stock tires, what do you think of this setup, i'm plannig to lower with h&r in the future, wiil it rub?
thanks!
thanks!
You should have plenty of room in the back. Front might be a little tight, but should clear. Make sure to max out the front camber for a little extra clearance.
