i'd like hellaflush style！so...is 18x8 et20 can work fine with r55？
tks

 

With stretched tires and some negative camber, probably.

 

et30 would be more flush. et20 will poke a little. But as said above with some heavy camber and stretch you could probably get it looking pretty flush.

 

thank u~i will try it

 

Go ask Rally over @ m|u.

 

hi~could u please give me a suggest for the tires size，thank u so much

 

215/35/18 is probably your best choice

 

i think i will run et30 18x8 215 35 r18 for the front.and et20 18x8 215 35 r18 for the rear.and i just check the offset calculator " the outside edge of the wheel will extend an extra 31mm"

would this set-up be okay without any rubbing or i need to stretched tires and some negative camber.
thank u again.

 

oops......how can i find him..

 

I will likely rub a bit no matter what. This will also depend on your ride height, but considering you desire to be "hellaflush" Im guessing pretty low. et30 would certainly be better for clearance but 18x8 et30 even with some camber will still likely rub under some conditions.

215/35 will be barley stretched on an 8" wheel. There aren't many smaller options however.

Achieving a extremely flush look with no rubbing is very hard and often unrealistic.

 

I love how people are always saying this. It can't be one man's job to figure out the entire MINI community's fitment issues for them. Or at the very least it should be up to him to decide.

Some people hate poke, some people love 2" of poke, some people love camber, some people want to be flush.

What I would personally do doesn't help you choose what you should do.

Could you put 9.5's on the front? Yup. Would it poke? Yup. You could get gnarly and put 205/40's on there with an insane stretch, dial in camber, and give it a shot. But maybe that's not what you want. Maybe you don't want the hassle associated with such an aggressive setup. Maybe you don't like poke as much as the next guy.

There's no way for anyone to know.

I think part of why you're not getting answers is because stance and wheel fitment is about research and doing some leg work. It's not about just asking for a pre-packaged answer, buying some cheap wheels on craigslist, and bolting them on like everyone else. The fun is in the calculations, test fits, and figuring things out yourself.

 

cool~~bit rub is ok.if there is no potential safety concerns.i will do it asap.

 

thank u ,i'm totally understand and i know what i want~ haha.nice to talk to you.i'm a Chinese people in Shanghai.
