Question, I got a stock mini coming. Have a pair of 17" Rim, the Offset is 40mm, mounted on that rim is a 215/45 Tire. Will I be ok with that on my Mini? or will it rub? Thanks,

I think the 40 offset is ok on your 215x45x17 because I am using 215x35x18 with the same offset and I have no problem of rubbing. Any pic on your 17" set?????????

Yes, but be sure to fit a centering ring as the MINI is hubcentric, not lugcentric. I have ET40 on mine w/o problem. I also have 215-45-17
