Can all you experts help me confirm?

Hi guys,

Thanks for reading, I'm a newbie in this but I was offered a set of used ASA AR1 in 18", 4x100, 38mm offset, tires are nexen n3000, 215/35/18.

Can anyone confirm if these will fit my R56 MCS? I just wanted to make sure.

Many thanks and any comments welcome,

They should but I'm not 100% sure. Call Alex @ TireRack and he'll be able to help you out.

Hi RCCC, and welcome to NAM

+1 on Alex @ the Tire Rack. He's great.

You're asking us for help, but we need more info to do that.

Do you know what car these were used on?
Your lug bolts might be a different diameter (Yours should be 14mm thread size I think) and the lug bolt holes could be too small on the rims.
You might need a new set of centering rings to fit MINI.
Do you have metal valve stems and tire pressure Monitoring? Are these rims set up for that?

I'm no expert, but I'd guess that these rims won't fit your car. I came across a wonderful deal on the same rims and great tires, but wrong lug hole diameter and no TPM provision.

Good luck
