Those are sexy

 

Hmm! I forgot to post my pic in here once mine came in.

 

what size tires are the second gen running

 

i called tire rack and they said they only carry a 17
where is everyone buying there wheels
thanks

 

According to Tire Rack the 18's wont fit so they dont have them listed as an option for the mini cooper or s. What you have to do is just order the 18" rim without going through the what car is this for.

 

Anyone has them on 17 inch. I really would like how differente they look, preferably on stock suspension.

 

Just call me, I can take care of it for you!

 

What size tires are you guys running on 18"s?

 

Lowered Minis on 18s, you guys must have spines of steel or better roads

 

205/40/18. This is the stock size for MINIs with 18s that are 7" wide.

 

Paul what size tires are you running?

....

Justin i thought people got up to like 225 or even 235?

 

Yeah, Tire Rack recommends 215/35/18, but on a 7" wide Breyton wheel, the speedometer would be 2.3% slower. When the speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h), actual speed will be 58.6mph (94.3km/h).

Also, 205/40/18 is a stock tire size recommended by MINI on a 7" wide wheel. That's why I went with the size I did. Tire selection isn't as good, but the S.Drives by Yokohama are really good.

 

Im looking for something that will help with the stance and overall look. Down the road I want to get coil overs and drop her down a little. I will also most likely get some spacers to push the wheels out a bit. The R56 has so much wheel gap i would like to be left with a clean tight fit.

 

Beautiful wheels, I have had my eyes on these for a while myself. Thanks for posting up photos guys! Cars look great!

 

To those with 18's on the R56 how did you get your lug bolts to fit? According to the specs the rims lug holes are 12mm yet the mini's lugs are 14mm?

On a side not Is paul running 18's on his?

 

So the trigger was pulled and I installed the GTSR-18s over the weekend. I had zero issue with the fitment. The factory lugs work fine, no drilling required, and they easily clear the calipers even under braking load. So far I am beyond stoked. I have some pics up shortly.

 

Can't wait to see pics... what finish did you get? I'm debating on the Matte Grey, or gloss black for mine...

 

I went gloss black, having a PW it was a no brainer for me.

 

+1

but on a r56 with some springs like h&r or something of that nature.


JustinGTP Do you have another side shot of your car. With it being black it's hard to see where the tires stop. I was looking in your signature and you don't have any springs listed so I take it you are on the stock suspension?

Thanks

 

Hey,

yeah I am on stock suspension. I won't lower it as I scrape certain alleys already and I don't want any vibrations and any strain on the cv axels/joints.

here:

 

wow... i thought i was sold on black ultraleggeras... but these are NICE! what brand and where to order with regards to the wheel spacers?

 

Thanks man. So those are 18x 7.5"? What size tires? Did you happen to put them on a scale before you mounted the tires?

Thanks, and sorry for the questions.

 

18's are 17.2 lbs. Depending on your tire selection you can save 25lbs per corner over stockers with run flats. I went with 205/35 Toyo T1R's and I am lovin it.

 

Here's what 17's look like. Some dude is selling some in the market place (for a higher price than new).
