I'm on information overload trying to figure out what rims might work for my 2008 Clubman S. Currently I have stock OEM's that are 16" x 6.5" with 48mm offset.

I'm looking at a set of rims with the following specs - can anyone help me determine if these will fit?

Brand: Enkei
Model: EDR9

Rim Diameter: 16"
Rim Width: 7"
Bolt Pattern: 4 x 100 millimeters / 4 x 114.3 (4.4.5)
Offset: 45 millimeters
Backspace: 5.77 inches
Hub Bore: 72.60 millimeters


Thanks so much!

 

I'm wrestling with 16's vs. 17's for my MCS and wondering what the factors are for you staying with 16" instead of going up to 17's. Also what size tire would you run? 205-50-16?

BTW - seems to me those rims would work. I use TireRack as a good resource - might be worth checking that out if you haven't already, most likely they carry that wheel in a fitment for the MC.

 

Thanks for the reply C4RACER. Ultimately my decision to stay with 16's is mostly based upon my desire to use my stock rims for studded snow tires and my assumption that if I stick with 16's for both then I won't have to worry about making adjustments to any settings.

Not sure where you're from and if you're familiar with studded snow tires. I'm from Oregon and we don't salt the roads here in the winter time and so many folks put studded tires on their vehicle in the winter time. It's less hassle and overall expense to have two sets of rims, one for each season.

 

Grew up in Portland and I used to run studded tires for the winter back when I lived there and went skiing a lot.

Currently I live in CA, but being a skier I do run snow tires in the winter on my SUV.

But there is no reason to use the same size diameter wheels for snows and summer tires. Using the OEM 16's for the winter set-up makes sense, but you could just as easily run 17's with the stock sized 205-45-17 on them.

 

For those Enkei rims you will be fine

Tirerack estimates that 16x7 rims using offset 38-45mm will be OK for your MINI.

MINI hub bore is 56.1mm so you will need centering rings that fit the inner hub of your wheels and fit onto the MINI hub. Your wheel vendor can supply those for you. Mention 56.1mm hub bore is what you need to fit.
