R90 vs R85 dimensions

Are these two the same size? I have seen 7.5" width for the R85 and 7" for the R90. I'm trying to pick up some R90s and use the tires from my R85s but I want to make sure they are interchangeable.

All OEM 17" and 18" wheels are 7" wide.

R85 S-lytes are 17x7 as are all standard MINI 17" wheels offset is 48mm

R90 Cross spoke comes in two sizes.

One piece 16x6.5
Two piece 17x7

So if you have any stock MINI 17" wheel you can use them interchangeably.

There are NO MINI 7.5" wide wheels in any diameter.

Sweet, I will go ahead with the R90 knock-off purchase

Wish the OEM wheels were more widely available at a reasonable price.
