Official F56 Wheel Fitment Thread

What do you mean by "it" the rpf1? The 225 tire? The bbk? Which model mini? **** is so nuanced with these cars it's unbelievable.
The set pictured above (17x7.5 w/ 225/45/17) was ordered from the tirerack website as fitting a '14 F56 Hardtop S, they arrived on the doorstep mounted and balanced and bolted right up. When I checked last night before posting their website still lists them as fitting this car.
Cheers!

Mine is a 15'JCW with Brembo Brakes. So finding a light weight wheel in 17" is a major PITA. I can go 18" like MarcoPolo did, however, I won't have lots of tires options. I would like to use 17" R888R in for track days and 18" Indy 500 for daily

one2three_us - Love that signature. Always check out the main News section of NAM when we post up sales. Milltek sale just finished but you can find items on sale by selecting your model and clicking the upper right-hand side tab for Sale or Clearance and pick up some good deals.

That all makes perfect sense, I just couldn't tell if that's what Marco Polo was getting at, too many pronouns in that post.

Hey everyone! I've been looking for new wheels for my f56 Cooper and I really like how the Team Dynamics 1.2 look. I'm thinking about getting these in 17x7 but I'm not really sure on what et should I get, either 38 or 45. I'm on stock brakes and I plan on lower my car with lowering springs. What's your thought on the et? I don't want the poking way too much.

Wow never seen those before.

It seems the bolts zone is more "aggressive" (IMHO).
But, as you know, you'll need spacers to clear the brakes for either sets, so you should check what set is more secure (+45 or +48) thinking in your wheel spacers options.
Sometimes, 3mm could be a the difference between great and bad.
Regards

That looks great! That helps out a lot, thanks for the pics. I'm pretty sure the F57 is the same as the F56. I have 12mm & 15mm spacers on my stock cup wheels now. I wonder if that would be about the same look on my F56 JCW with my spacers. The good thing about the RSE 10s is there hub centric also. not like the OZ. so on top of the more expensive OZ wheels I'm looking at Hub rings, and different spacers another $300 over the RSE10s. did you buy new TPms or swap them over?

Nice presentation! I like the platinum wheels as black wheels, while fine on some colors, just seem to blend in with the black vinyl fender trim pieces to make the overall look awkward imo! The platinum is a nice contrast while still subtle. Great looking MINI!

test fitting wheels today with a 10mm spacer up front on a F56 JCW
the wheels are OZ Legerra HLT 18x8 +48 & probably 215/40/18 tires
Looks like I have a few mm to spare (guessing 5.5mm )between the brakes, So I will try a 8mm next. 5mm would be really close, 6mm would probably work, but, really2x3mm spacers..?

So, Tirerack* wont sell me the rest of my wheels and tires in a package, (I have one wheel for test fitment)because they feel the O.Z. wheels need special lugs to fit there ball seat Legerra HLT wheels, vs Cone (radius vs 60* conical) mini's are Cone (oem)
Does anyone know of someone that will work with me at tirerack? I've been through 3 sales people already, the last guy said he wont write the order for safety issues.
SO they say... they don't make lugs in M14 x 1.25 ball seat.
So I said I would get studs or the suds that are 1.25 into the hub and either 1.25 or 1.5 stem, well they say they don't make nuts that are radius (ball) in either 1.25 or 1.5, that are small enough to fit inside the wheels..
So, I need advice NAM peeps, I bought the cone to ball adapter rings as seen below, but they said it wont work because there 14mm and I need 13mm or vice versa...
Does anyone else have an O.Z. wheel setup?
60* (Conical) Taper to Ball (radius) adaptors below V
