Some of them will be.....especially all seasons or other tires with a softer sidewall. It won't be a lot....but there could be some

 

It should fit fine, but it might appear stretched. I have 215/40 Eagle F1s on 17x7 ASA LS5s, and they actually appear to be a correct fit. The 215/45s Bridgestones I had on previously appeared slightly stretched. This always made me suspect that my wheels were actually wider than 7".

On a semi-related note, this Eagle/ASA (ET38) combo has given me substantially more room between the sidewall and the strut tower and trailing arm than I had with my S-Lites wearing 205/25 Pirellis.

 

I'm running stock 205/45 runflats on 17x7.5's, there is some stretch.

 

Kinda hit a wall with my choice of Volk RE30.

Seems they will need a 3-5mm spacer to fit the R56. R55 will be fine.

For the kinda money for the wheels, i believe a non-compromise situation would be in order. So i think i will have to re-choose my wheel package.

 

I think this is my third contribution to this post. I hope I can stick with these.

18" rota P-1

 

Those are a good set dude

 

very nice, how much *borat voice*

 

Looks good

 

where did you get the rota p-1?

 

haha! I drive my wife nuts doing Borat quotes all the time.

 

Check out his other thread in this same forum section. Special order as the 4x100 are only sold in the Philippines.

 

Finally my contribution to the thread. Drag DR16 in Gold 16x7 et40 with 215/50/16 tires......How ya like me now

 

Very nice dude....i really like how 16's look on r56's

 

I agree, really well done. . . I think the 215/50 r16 tires fit the features of the r56 perfectly. Sort of like an r53 on 15s with 205/55 r15s.

 

yea the girlfriend hates it as well

 

Nice wheels Vampyre, I love gold wheels with BRG paint, it's a very nice combo, and it's lowered which helps a lot.

 

Nice. Im a big fan of the gold on green. Thats where I started and I still have a set in the shed.

 

I've posted this everywhere else, might as well post it here

 

Like many of you, I have anxiously awaited this day...

New Wheels and Tires Day!

I now have some silver 17" x 7.5" Rota RBs wrapped in 215/45R17 Kumho Ecsta ASXs. Hopefully I will be able to suspend these (and the car) with some H&Rs pretty soon.

I ordered them from Mach V Motorsports.

 

Nice. That classic design is really meant for the Mini more than any other car in my opinion.

 

really really nice wheels curtis

 

Beautiful indeed.

 

Thanks!

Man - I poured over postings and threads and magazines and websites... finally after 3 months, I found a set of wheels that seemed to "belong" on my MINI.
I definitely appreciate their "classic" appearance - especially in light of the MINIs styling and overall presence.

Thanks again.

 

Wow, 3 months? An impulse shopper! Nice choice.

 

Jeeez, am I that obvious?

At this rate, I may have some H&Rs by spring - thank god this stuff is sold in sets instead of individually. Then again...
