So I've been toying with getting a set of the ESM-002's for my wife's Clubman (since I can't afford Super RS's for my car and won't put normal RS's on hers, these are just the ticket). I'm looking at the 16x7 for her 09 Clubman which currently has the stock 15" wheels with balloon tires on stock sport suspension... do you know what offset and tire size I'd need for these? (I've been trying to search this site for a while for the basic stock numbers but the search function has failed me miserably and I cannot find a basic faq thread like every other forum I'm on ).

Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello,
Thanks for your interest in our wheels.
What you can do is a 16x7.5 et 35 cb 73.1 with a hub ring to 56.1. This option will have standard fit on the mini and you would be able to use 205/45/16 or 215/40/16 maybe even 215/45/16 if you have the room.
Another option would be the et 20 version which will be 15mm further out than the et 35 wheel making the wheel fit a bit more aggressive. SOME PEOPLE LIKE THIS... With this option you would use either 195/45/16 or 205/45/16.
If I have confused you in any way please feel free to contact me at the shop and we will further discuss your options...
Does ESM plan to make these wheels offset friendly to cars other than BMW? I love your wheels and I think many people like myself want them, but feel like we're trying too hard to get them to fit. I even wanted them on my MK5 GTi but again...offset is way too low.
any possibilities in the 17" 002s being in a less than 8.5?
Will keep this forum posted
