I run these on my 09 JCW pics above. I did trim the plastic fender arches just a smidge front and rear on the inside where you can't see it to gain some additional clearance. Note that my car is WAY lower than your car is on those springs. At higher levels less or no trimming may be needed.

The tires will not make the ride rough, it is labelled aggressive due to the need to trim the fender arches at lowered stances.

Hope that helps!

 

Yeah, that's great help! How do you like the Azenis? (comfort wise, noise level)

 

I REALLY like the Azenis. REALLY good tire in the dry, track and in semi-wet conditions. Priced extremely well too! I recommend them to everyone!

Ride quality is good!

 

Adam - Is there more pictures than that one? I am looking for new wheels for my mini. Do the wheels on your website qualify for 15% off? And, what size rim do you have? Can I put a 225/40 on a 17x7 rim?

Thanks

 

I'm just wondering, are Konig Feathers available in white with the red trim? I really like the look of the black but, the white looks better for my set up. The Twilights are O.K. but, too much time required to keep them clean. The Feathers (in white) would be just the ticket. I know I'm fussy, but you like what you like.

 

Thanks for asking! I use the 17x7. A 225/40 would be just fine too. 225/45 is a bit tall though. There a few more photos on out Flickr Page Including those wheels on a few models. Feel free to click around.

The Feathers come in Black and Silver, but not white. You can always paint any of them the color you want and add the red stripe like I did very easily. So you have options! As always let me know how I can help in anyway further!

Have a great balance to your weekend folks!

 

Adam: I was thinking to go with 225/40/17 to get around the rubbing issue, but that size tire is not common.

What springs are you riding on? How much of a drop? How much of a drop do you think before the 235/40/17 are an issue?

 

I am on coilovers about 2.5+ drop. So sport springs would be unlike to be an issue other than at extremes. You can also adjust camber settings to add clearance as well.

If you are really concerned about any chance of rubbing then the 215 options would be best. (Although the 235's look super hot!)

 

hahah yes, and would definitely handle better with the extra surface area! So what did you modify? Cut something from the inner fender part? Is something that can easily be replaced if necessary?

 

The only thing I modified was the inner lip of the plastic fender arches. If you have the black plastic versions, you can trim the hell out of them and if you worry when resale comes around, you can simply replace them. Cheap parts through the dealer too.

Mine are painted and any scarring on mine is contained to areas that can't be seen.

We may be making mountains out of molehills BTW

 

hahah fair enough! Thanks for the info, will post pix once I make the purchase

 

Rock on! Thanks for the business!

 

ok a few more questions...

Someone told me the 2010 MCS has different bolt size for the rims than previous versions, and that the Feathers might not work for my car (I have the 2010 MCS Camden)

That same person said 235/40/17 is bigger than what should go on a 17x7 rim (not wide enough) and the sides will probably bulge out. To fit 235/40 tires, the recommended rim should be at least 17x8. He suggested 215/45/70 tires for the 17x7.

Thought? (I know you have 235/40 on the 17x7 Feathers, so it can be done!)

 

Bolt pattern (4x100) has been the same since MINIs inception. Are you speaking of the lug bolt diameter? All R56's use 14mm bolts so you should be fine. ADAMSALTAMINI has that exact tire size on his car. It seems like they would be too big but...THEY LOOK GREAT!!

Adam - any pics of the black and chrome illusions on a mini that you know of?

Thanks

 

Thank you for asking. I don't have any here, but ALTA_Jarid might. So lets hope he posts some soon!

He may be able to offer other options as well.

Thanks again!

 

Awesome 7-spoke design huh

 

workin on it!

 

A few more to show off the awesome wheels I got from Alta.

 

Lookin' Good. I love the black -n- blue theme.

 

Hotshot has some great photos of the black feathers. Any pics out there of 17" silver feathers?

 

no silver, but a few more of the black:

 

John,
I'm thinking about the Konig Forward Blk with red stripe. I have a chili red cooper with a black jack on top. Do you have a real photo of a chili red with those rims. Tire rack shows a graphic but your photos are better.

Any hub adapters required for these?

 

Thanks for asking! Actually yes, but they are included no charge! Hope that helps! Let us know if we can help further!
