17x8 Wheel Fitting
Ok guys, I want some assistance...
I would like to get new wheels for my 2012 R55 Clubman, and I'd like to go 17x8. I'm looking at the TR Motorsports C4 which comes in a 17x8 +45. I would initially mount my stock 205/45-17 tires on them, and I'm currently running stock suspension. In the future, I'd like to go up to a 215/45-17 tire and convert the car to coilovers for a lower ride.
Will I have any clearance issues or concerns with this configuration? I'd like to get some input from those running this size wheel on what to measure and be aware of.
Thanks!

Looks OK. 17x8" et45 wheel will be almost 10mm closer to inner suspension and poke out almost 16mm more than 17x7" OEM wheel
For coilovers, look for those that give you fully adjustable ride height.
