New shoes for her ♥️♥️ summer tires make all the difference. Looks nice too. Fits in the fenders a little better.

Yup stock suspension. I won't lie it's tight but does work. This post (not mine) but what I used to make my decision shows some clearences.

Looks great.

So, the offset is 45 mm for your wheel? Do you think it can fit on 2 Dr as well?

wow that's a lot less room than I thought! I have a 2-door and I'm thinking of picking up the Konig Hypergram 17x8 ET45 with 215/45/17. I'm hoping they'll fit! I've only came across one mini cooper with the wheels I'm looking to get so far so it's hard to gauge

Do you mind taking pics of your setup after your mount them? I'd love to see how the wheels sit

Should be the same on a 2 door. That post above was on a F56 (2 door) and i have an F55 (4 door).
