yes another will it fit thread

Hey guys, hate starting these threads but i need an answer.

I'm looking for some rims for the clubby, I really like the BBS LM, really who doesn't, however they are too pricey. I found some decent reps but they are 17x7.5 et35, i've ran BBS CV at et38 on my old r56 but with 205/45/17 and had no rubbing. My problem is that my current tires are 215/45/17, will they rub? I'm on stock height. I would hate to get new tires, my current tires are pretty much new.

Thanks

With any MINI using stock suspension you should be ok with no rubbing using 215/45-17 tires and rims up to 7.5" although et 35mm is aggressive.

If any problems then try for more rear negative camber or trim the inside edges of the wheel arch plastic. I think you will be ok.
