now OZ Superlegerra in 17" ET 37 with 205/40 Pirelli Nero Zero - by far not so nice like the Cronos, very bad to clean but ride is definately better than with 18", no probs with the body. 3mm spacers in front (brake required spacers (been 12mm on the 18") for me 18" on a Mini = no go even when the ride with 18" normal tires is MUCH better than with 17" stock runflats but I´ve been sick & tired with the body problems

Nothing different, just the rotors behind the wheels...
