Minihune, that is the Eurotuner MCS. Almost positive from their articles that those are 18" RO_JA's with 225/35/18's

dandp,
I tried to look it up but could not find the details and you are likely correct.
How about this- does it look like 19"?- the fenders are enlarged!

I think you might want to talk to Alex@tirerack or Randy Webb before you go with 19" wheels because depending on how lowered your MINI is you are likely to run into rubbing problems with any rim wider than about 7.5". The remedy would be to use wider fender arches. But that changes the look and adds to the expense. 19" wheels would be really heavy.

For any size wheel/tire the offset limits are determined by the suspension on the MINI so read RandyBMC's comments here:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...mp;topic=16613
He says:
You want an offset of 40-48mm if you are going to lower the car at all with H-Sport springs, and 42-48mm if you are going to lower the car with H&R, Eibach, KW or coilovers. If you don't want to lower the car, ever, you can go all the way to a 37mm offset.

Yeah that is the EuroTuner MCS, is says right there on the side :cool:

Dandp, nice pictures! Where did you get them? I love the CR with 19s, doesn't look too awkward. What is your personal opinion on 19s?

Thanks for the help. :smile:

I maybe go with 19s next year on my MCS :grin:

The SVC MINI is...lowered too...
