Does anyone have pictures of a 225/45/18 mounted on a 18"s?

I'm currently running 215/35/18 and wish to see what a bigger tire would look like on the MINI with these size wheels.

I think it would be fairly difficult to run a tire size like that in 18s, depending on offset and your car ride height.

I run the same size as you Usagee and I rub, but Im 18x8.5

VERY nice; i loved the way the Torque's looked on my car, and i didn't see them very often on other MINI's. Mmmm, i actually still have the wheels even though the MINI is gone.
