thanks guys!! yup got the wheels from them... great customer service!!

 

Wow, you got em' installed:thumbusp:
Great looking wheels...I am going another route...but my concept will be close

 

Hello guys.

I'm new and i have a question about offset.

I've a MCS lowred with Apex springs (1,5" all around). Now i wanna put the RIAL Nogaros on it, but the size are 17x8" with an 35mm offset... tires are 205/45/17.

will this rub???

 

youll probably rub. Is it too late to go 205/40?

 

yes, i buy the car with this rims and they are brand new....


would 17x7" with ET38 looks good? (i wanna a bit aggressiv look)

 

 

sweeeet very euro looking... what wheels? size? offset? tires?

 

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Who wants to break the news that the tires are on backwards?

 

Uh Oh

 

haha he can just swap sides

 

Stretched tires on a Mini? Isn't that sort of... redundant?

 

Stretching isn't usually for performance unless your are actually benefitting from it.. (i.e. drift i believe?).. its mostly about the stance and the look.. and boy, his setup looks VERY sweet

 

Yeah what size and offset are those? I like..

 

Well it appears that I'm retarded

I figured the "arrows" on the tires meant which direction rotation was. I'll swap them this weekend when I put my coilovers on. Funny thing is, when I was looking at the tires after I mounted them it seemed wrong. Anyway, thanks.

Specs are:

F: 16x7.5 et35 195/45
R: 16x9 et15 215/40

 

RE: Running stetched tires, it is purely for looks in my case. It helps you fit widers wheels/tires under the arches when you add negative camber.

 

The rubbing with the 8s and 205/45s wouldn't be that bad. You'd probably wear away anything that was being rubbed on in a few days. You could always run a bit of negative camber in the rear to avoid rubbing too. 17x7 et38 looks pretty good but IMHO wider is more aggressive.

 

Very nice I believe that you are the closest person to Rally that I have seen Perfect stance and stretch...just get them wheels rotated

 

Aside from your tires on backwards, that's the nicest stance I've seen on a MINI in awhile! Nice job man!

What wheels are those? (Don't worry, I love my ACS Type I's, I'm just curious)

 

Did you have to import them? Are they out of production?

 

Good job on the headlights.

 

what you think about this wheel on a hype blue MCS??

 

What did I do to the headlights?

And why did you change my plate?

 

Keskin KT1s

And I got them used. They can be found stateside though, if you are interested I can dig up the shop that imports them.

 

yes please do so
