im looking into buying some wheels very soon and i cant find anything about a 2002 base model mini cooper fitment. Im looking on putting 17x8.25 on all fours and idk if theyll rub or scrape. I do have a fender roller and i plan on putting a 1.25" drop on it as well. Any help?
I had a set of XXR 17x8.25 et22 on my 09 s you can see it on this page I also had eBach lowering springs on billstin b4 the wheels were right to the edge of arches the only time they ruled was when I hit a strong dip and it was to a minimum but I just went with 16x8 et33 and coilovers my car now is kinda slammed and still to the edge of my arch but the innermost.
I think after 4 sets of wheels in 4mo I found a right ET.

I would like to get new wheels for my 2012 R55 Clubman, and I'd like to go 17x8. I'm looking at the TR Motorsports C4 which comes in a 17x8 +45. I would initially mount my stock 205/45-17 tires on them, and I'm currently running stock suspension. In the future, I'd like to go up to a 215/45-17 tire and convert the car to coilovers for a lower ride.
Will I have any clearance issues or concerns with this configuration?
so many pages to go thru, I gave up, but is anyone running 16x8 steel wheels with OEM tires 196/55? Kinda want a bit of a stretched look. I have black oem wheels and wanna go with the murdered out look so not really wanting expensive alloys.

I'm running 16x8 on 205/55.
I don't want them too streched.

I also want to see what the 195/55 looks like since I have some rubbing on the rear and this could be the solution.

16x8 ET 33 on a R53, will it fit ? I don't want to mess with camber too much, but can do some.
and if ET33 is too easy to fit, what ET would be better between Et22 and Et 27 ?
Because I found wheels that a really like, and they can be machined to the desired ET between 22 and 27.

cheers guys !
The wheels you listed will fit fine and will appear flush with the arches. At 8" wide the tire will begin to extend beyond the arches with a 27et and definitely beyond and outside the arches at 22.
Pogea Racing XCut500 18x8 et27 running 215/35r18 with only slight rubbing in the rear over very severe elevation changes. conservative drop on NM springs (and the ride is buttery smooth to be honest)
Sorry, I wasn't clear, they just barely don't rub. I feel like if I lowered my car I'd have to do some fender modifications. But at stock ride height, even with my bigger than an average bear self and a passenger onboard, taking turns at higher than suggested speeds I've had no rubbing.
So far as I can tell, an 18x8 will fit just fine, but it's the offset in question. Stock offset for my stock 17x7s on my R55 is 48. It _looks_ like I can get away with an 18x8 ET48 as well, with 225/35/18 tires and no interference with the suspension/fenders.
Can anyone verify this setup will fit fine with no rubbing (stock ride height) and/or if I lower it later on? I'm fine with camber adjustments to help the fitment later (plan on doing c/o's anyhow).
