19" wheels/tires on a JCW f56?

Hi didn't get a single response on my other thread, so I'll make this simple. Can I run 19"s on a 2016 JCW? Or how bout just a f56?

Thanks.

I did 19x7.5" custom HRE's on my R56 with a very low drop on coilovers. mQubed Motorsport, Manic Tuning Dealer

Ok so I just called TireRack and they're saying "no go" on a 19" set up for my JCW. Sucks for me cause now I can't get the JCW spoke wheels I wanted

With the right offset, tire (215/35/19) and drop you won't have a problem. My drop is much more aggressive than a JCW drop. Tire Rack plays it safe, and will say no to many wheel specs that push the edge

You are not kidding about TR playing it safe. They also told me the biggest offset they recommend is 4mm. I've got 15mm's (front) and 10mm (rear) in a box and ready to go. My car arrives on Thursday, and I still don't have any wheels! I've got rubber, just no wheels.

BTW thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

We have not yet test fit a 16 JCW, tha'ts why the recommendations offered are not beyond the stock sizing. I'd have suggested 225/35R19 with no issues. Sounds like 235's work too, based on the posts above.
