Greg,
Is that the standard ride height on your Clubman? It doesn't have that hideous SUV-like wheel gap that most Gen2 Minis have.

Yep, stock height.

The secret is going w/ tall tires. I'm running 225/40-18's which equal a 25.1" diameter. Just tall enough to fill the wheel wells w/ NO rubbing.

Had the entire family (myself, my wife, and our two girls) in there this evening and hit sime big dips and bumps and never heard a thing!

And thanks to all for the compliments. I love this car!

Isn't there some basic rule for this thread that if you post a pic, you have to put the wheel specs in the post?

If not, there should be.

Here's a new photo of my wheels in real motion! Drag Dr-20's with Hankook R-S2 215/45/16's. Killer set up and no regrets on them at all.

Photo via my gf.
