Good stuff...but when I say they will fit, I do mean with a rather aggressive stance. They will be right out to the edge of the top of the fenders at their widest point. they may even poke past that just a hair.

We have the NM Engineering Wheels right here for the F56 , they look really nice and are light weight for the size.

I know Duell was developing some but I haven't heard any more about them. I doubt they're for sale yet.
Are you dead set on those specs? Because you can easily fit an 17x8 wheel on the car, just not at that offset. Try around 38-40. What I'm running now is effectively a 17x8 et 38 and it pokes just a bit in the front. With a little camber it will be perfect.
edit: But with super meaty tires you might be better off shooting for et 45 to stay within the arches.

Have not tested the NM wheels with the New F56 JCW yet.
But we have a list of the factory wheel for the F56 fitment: But some say not for jcw 17" sport brakes.
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.d...id=57045&hg=36
most 17x7 and 18x7 ET54 what it looks like.
But seen some styles that fit
If we find out more info on the new F56 JCW brakes will will post it here.

The JCW Brakes are massivE.
My 18x8 ET45 Speedlines barley clear them.
However, I know a guy who also runs 18x8 ET45 with the JCW brakes, but his spoke design is different and he needed 8mm spacers to clear the JCW's!
My Speedlines were obviously designed with BBK's in mind, unlike his rims.
The only way the MINI wheels clear the brakes is the unfortunate design with the spokes bending out ridiculously - it looks very odd in person!

I'm looking for grip! Grip is my main priority but damn, those wide tires look nice too.

You don't need very wide tires for grip on this car. I went one size wider and a whole lot stickier and i can barely force it to lose grip. The make/model of the the tire is more important than the width. Unless you turn it into a drag car...then you could put skinnies out back and fat drag radials up front
Just snapped this if you want a better idea of a 215/45 on an 8" wheel.
