Anybody have any pix of aftermarket wheels that they've put on their Paceman? I'm looking to take off the wheels and runflats as soon as I take delivery and swap out for a lighter wheel (around 19-20#), and lose the runflats. Thanks in advance!

 

I will be putting winter rubber (non RF, of course) this fall on my 17" stock rims. Looking forward shopping for some 19" in the spring. At this moment, on top of the list is NM Eng wheels for Countryman. They are really nice and great quality...

 

since the bolt pattern is a 5x120mm all wheels for a BMW is avail

 

Not exactly... Not All wheels are Proper offset that fits Paceman... I decided on BMW 17x7.5 et40 from X5. I like the design ( style 57). They are now being refinished in black satin. Once mounted on the car with winter rubber, I will post pix...

 

Hmm, never thought about this. Trying to sell of my snow wheels and tires from my 1-series, and need to buy a whole new set for the paceman. I guess I should try putting them on first!

 

Offset people, offset! You will be able to "mount it" but how much it will "stick out" of the car depends on the offset... Too much is ugly and it will screw up your handling

 

I know, but I don't know till I try.

 

are the countryman wheels interchangeable?

 

I would think so...maybe check with your dealership's parts department. They should be able to confirm.

 

Agreed. Plus, BMWs are rear wheel drive, so the offset is usually different to begin with. Plus, some models use a different offset for the rear wheels than the front.

 

It looks like the wheels from the Countryman are the same sets for the Paceman. I cross referenced a bunch of wheels and they look the same from the Genuine MINI wheel standpoint.

Looks like Et: from 46 to 52 and then different size heights and widths. Remember the CB is 72.6 and the 5x120 pattern , I think some BMW wheels in 5x120 have a different center bore like the E39 and E70 models. On top of having staggard sets and offsets. We fitted some of the aftermarkets wheels on the Countryman and found some that fitted and have them listed for each model in aftermarket wheels. For other then recommended , its best to test fit first there are some wheel guides out there for calculations.

Some of the Genuine MINI wheels that look good on the Paceman / Countryman: On ours wheels we show the height and width on top of the ET.
