17x7.5 +45mm Rotas on R56?
I'm considering buying some 17x7.5" Rota Subzero wheels with +45mm offset for my R56 MCS. Will there be any issues with rubbing on stock suspesion? I'm concerned about the 7.5" width. I plan on equipping some 205/45R17 runflats, but I haven't decided on the specific tire.

I have recently put 17" x 7.5" +45 Rota RBs on my car with no problems at all. I am using 215/45R17 Kumhos. I suspect that the fitment should be the same given the specs in spite of being different wheels. Hope this helps.

Keep in mind that just because you use a run flat tire, it may not stay on the bead when it's deflated unless you use a run flat specific wheel. The "bump" where the bead of the tire mounts is bigger on run flat wheels than on wheels intended for standard tires. The larger bump keeps the tire in place on the wheel when it's deflated.
