I stumbled across these on craigslist. I realize its hard to tell from a pic.....but bases on the photo and the info given will these fit an 07 "S" without any spacers, adaptors, ect? I know the seller says they will fit.....but I dont want any surprises.

Thanks in advace.

 

Wouldn't see why not. Appears to be a Honda Civic style wheel (higher offset) You would have to see about the 14mm lug fitting it however, but a wheel like that should be fine

 

Check the backspacing. The diameter is fine, but if the backspacing puts them too far in or out you could have problems...

 

These are sold at Tire Rack. Call them and ask. The tire size is close to stock. At 65 mph you will be doing 63 mph with these. Given that the speedometer is off 5% you'll be going much slower than the speedometer reads with these tires.

 

Worse comes to worse, you could always meet the seller in a public location, like a mall parking lot, and ask if you could put one of the wheels on your Mini while you're both there to see if there are any issues.

For a set of Enkei's, $450 is pretty good.

 

Surprise, the tire size mounted is 205/40-17 which is 23.5" tire diameter or about 1" smaller than stock for the MINI. This would increase wheel gap for stock suspension and lower ride height for less road clearance when parking or driving. More risk for scraping.

Were you going to resell the tires and buy others?

You'll need centering rings to fit the wheels and MINI hub bore which is the same as the Civic, just ask for the rings with the wheels if you purchase.

Should fit. Likely offset is et+45 or 38mm of which 45 would be better for the MINI.

40 series tires are pretty ruff riding so be prepared.
