205/55's rubbin?
 
My parents got me a set of tires for christmas I got some 205/55/R16's and they're on the car but its in my garage and can't be driven cause I still need a new front bumper cover and headlight. I think that it's too much side wall and with H&R springs I hope they don't rub! the springs aren't on the car yet but they're next in line on things that are getting done.....

I'll post a pic of how the car looks with the tires and with the stock springs

I've been running 205/55-16 Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S on Rota 16x7 Slipstream wheels that have an offset of +40. No rubbing. They are 0.4" larger in O.D. than the tires that came with my MCS. One result is that the speedometer is a little more accurate than it is with stock size tires.

I am running H&R coil overs lowered 2+ inches on 17" 205/45's and not even close to rubbing.

I just put 225/45's on my rear wheels and after some height & camber adjustments it's still pretty tight.On a stock height MINI there's more than enough room for 50/55 sidewall rubber.
