Hey guys looking to see if i can get of rins to fit my mini they are 17x8 and 17x9.5 with a et of 50 ik tht is alot of offset but with the right adapters will it come to the right offset or will it poke stupid looking could use some opions please thanks

 

I'm not understanding why you would want wider rear wheels on a FWD?

 

I want then for the stance and the look not performance

 

The fronts will fit for sure with no problem and so will the rears, You'll just have to play with the offsets a bit and ad a bit of camber to your rear wheels. What wheels are you talking about?

 

They are 3 piece porsche rims really nice rim .. And what do u mean play with the offset its the rims that has the offset tand the offset is 50

 

I've owned Porsches for over 25 years and I've never heard of Porsche rims with a 4X100 bolt pattern. The 914 has 4X130, but almost all Porsches since then have a 5-bolt pattern. I'm also wondering if those rims are actually Porsche rims, as Porsche rims with that much front/rear width stagger also have different front and rear offsets.

As for "the stance and look" you want, why would you want people to laugh at your car? While those wheels might look right on a 911, they'd be a hoot on a MCS. Even if you could somehow get them to fit (please post pics if you do), performance would likely suffer greatly. Think about what size tires the 9.5" rears would require.

 

What's the offset of both the 8" and 9.5" wheels?
What adapter thickness do you plan on using?
What year is your vehicle?

Well jim to explain a little better a mcs is 4x100 alot of compaines make adapters that take the 4x100 pattern and makes it the porsche pattern 5x130 whick i plan on doing .... And im not into it for performance ... And to answer sorry i for got ur name but they are 3 piece porsche rims 17x8 and 17x9.5 the off set for both front and rear are Et all the way around need to find out if i can get then ti fit this weekend getting a good deal and dont want to moss out and its. 07 mini cooper s Lowered on vmax coilovers

 

The offset is et 50

 

Stop being so simple minded. If he said they are Porsche rims then that's what they are. You obviously didn't read the OP first post. He said was getting adapters to run the wheels he is getting.

As long as he pulls of the wheels right nobody will laugh at him. Im stanced and everywhere i go i get thumbs up and "Hell yeahs" Not once has anybody ever said a negative thing about my car. And for tire sizes he'll just run a 215 and call it a day

OP when i said you can play with the offsets i ment you can figure out whats the highest you can go without rubbing on the trailing arm.

 

Hitting the trailing awould be of a high offset or what for example my bbsr90 stocks are 17x7 et 48 so since the rims im going to buy are 17x9.5 et 50 since the higher offset and the wider rim i may hit the trailing arm.. But a adapter is atleat 20mm thick which would bring my new off set to +30 offset

 

Your would want it lower than +30. Check your PM's

 

Ok so say i got 35 mm adapter for the rear and 25 for the fronso for a final et of 17x8 et25 for the front and 17x9.5 et 15 fOr the rear

 

My fronts are the same offsets as yours. Its a nice poke. Im not to sure about the rears. I dont think you need to go that low.

 

U got a 17x8 et 50? No rub or nothing could u show a pic please

 

I think i do need tongo 15et since the rim is so wide i need to bring the width if the rim away from my trailing ar and coil

 

No i mean that my front set up is 17x8 ET25.

 

Hey rick looks sweet how bigs ur rear rim... And how much ibside cleanerence do you have whats ur rear offset aswell

 

Thoes porsche rims 17x8 with +50 offset fronts , rears 17x9.5 +50 offfset...front adapter 4x100 to 5x130 adapter 25mm brinng the front to a nice off set of 25 nice little poke rear adapters thats 35mm will bring my rear offset to 15 and poke real nice and bring the wide rim away from rubbing anything on the inside

 

Gotcha!

 

There are people running both 17x9 et30 and et35. More diameter gives you clearance to run more offset. That would mean you could run a 9.5 et 25 without any problem.

 

^Word

 

Hell yea words right bro ill do 25mm adapter all the way around

 

Hey creeve how sure are u about the 17x9.5 with et25 fitting in the rear
