I realize its a simple/newb question but not good at the demensions aspect when it comes to tires/wheels. I will post up both the link to the wheels and to the tires. Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded with countless thank yous.

yes. Rough ride but yes.

I also should of asked what year MINI.

Its a 2007 R56S, right now i have runflats my ride is rough already. is there any reason in particular that those will also be rough?

Low profile. Some of us run 215/45/17. I feel it was a better ride for me and I am sure many others will say the same. It does depend on if you are lowered or will lower it in the future. Then they might be a little tall by 1/2 inch or so.

Thanks a lot for the helpful information happy holidays

I would caution you about considering the Falken ZE329 because it is sold by PEP boys but not listed by Falken on their own site.

Some reviews of the ZE329 are sketchy-

At PEP Boys you can find-
Kumho Ecsta 4X in 205/45-17 which is a much better overall Ultra High Performance All Season tire for the MINI. $127 each, 420 treadwear.

MiniOn, dude, OEM wheels are heavy and expensive! Minihune is spot on!

Good luck and Motor On!

The Sparco rims that Minihune recommended are awesome so the hell with the overly priced oem rims. So now will the tires mentioned above fit? I just so happen to have them I don't want them to go to waste since I already have them.

Thank you! I got the sparco I love them

Yes, they will.
But why would you want to put crappy over-priced (suck) all-season "Pep Boy special" Falken tires on your new Mini wheels?

Pep Boy advertises them at $118/each.
You can get MUCH BETTER tires for same or lower prices on TireRack.com !
