Will 17x8 et35 work with 215/40 on h&r springs. R56.

 

Most likely.

 

my favorite body style benz ever....

 

true story

 

Lol hey konky

It's def the last of the true "enthusiast" Mercedes. It outhandles my mini something fierce right now...damn vmaxx coilovers and "poke and stretch" stance

 

Bumping this to see what other 2nd-Gen owners have installed.

So I have 03 MCS. I am looking for 18's what is the most agressive offset I can get? Still keeping it a daily drive? I have a stock suspension. Looking to do shocks and springs also.
I was looking at http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

Thoughts?

 

Those will fit fine. They aren't aggressive. Aggressive would be something like 18x8.5 et30. As far a what you can daily drive, that is a matter of opinion.

 

Does anyone have a pic with a car with this setup?

 

 

ok new to the mini world and just left the great world of bmw e30's. so point being i have an 06 MCS JCW and i have a set of 17x8 et25. will they fit if i put some 225/40/17 tires on them and have them not rub? i dont really want to put a 215 on them but i might if its the only way. any opinion's?

 

Are you planning on lowering the car at all? If you are anything larger then 205/40 is likely to rub.

I have a set of 17x8 et30 coming in soon and I am slightly worried about the 205/40 I bought for them rubbing. But I am lowered around 3".

 

The only way to know for sure is to try it on your car, as there are minor differences from car to car.
Agree with Creeve.........
For this fitment however, I would bet $$ that the 225s will rub like crazy in the rear, with an et of 25 the wheel centers are really pushed outward, almost an inch more than stock. I doubt the 215s will even fit.

 

ahh well thats not good news.... anyone want to buy some 17lb black apex 17x8 rims??

 

Those are cool looking wheels and they are fairly light. You can try 225/40 r comps which have a short tirewall that you can use for track. You can also use 215/40 with a slight stretch. Some stretch is actually good because it stiffens the tirewall for sharper response. Good tires avail for 215/40 ie. Dunlop star specs and yoko ad08's.

 

yea i could try but i really dont want to buy tires and get them put on then have them not fit for sure ya know? I want to sell these and get the O.Z. Alleggerita HLT's. Still super light and there 17x7 and with some r comps on them they should do just fine for the autox and track time

 

215/40 rear 205/45 front 16" staggered low et 20 front 15 rear.

 

Needs Low!!

 

Any side shots of that setup to see how much they poke? More specs on wheels/tires?

 

Yes it needs to be slammed It is my customers car though
Check our site galley for more pixs. We have the wheels in a higher offset if the low is too much poke. We have something for everyone

 

Those Wheels are alomst identical to the borbet Type A, that were very popular during the late 80s and early 90s, they look real nice on the Mini

 

Yes your right they are old skool....and they look very classic on the mini Visit www.esmwheels.com for full selection!

RH AQ Maxilite. 17x8.5 ET30 (I think). Currently has 225/45 Vredestein Quatrac 3. Just traded this in for a 2011 Cooper and I might put these on that.

 

Those are 225s pictured?
