Hey all, I'm looking for pics of some 17 x 7 wheels with tires on them on the car...

Basically, I'm lowering my car with M7 springs soon, and I have a set of the RoJa LT5's on order.

I'm debating between 215/40, 215/45, and 205/45...

Anyone got any good side pics of what those wheel/tire combos look like?

Thanks!

 

I dont have pictures but I think the 215/45 would be best. The M7 springs lower the MINI 1.3 inches I think. Good luck!

 

I think you can go to Mini2, in the 'Wheels & Tyres' section >> 'Aftermarket Wheel Gallery', there you can find the close-up view of the wheels of what people have on their cars.

 

Oh awesome, I'm gonna check that out, thanks!

Thanks Rick!

Did you notice a big difference between the 215 and 205?

 

The ride quality is much better due to the slightly taller sidewall since a 215/45 has about 1/2" more sidewall than a 205/45 but I am not comparing apples to apples since the 205s were runflats and are much harsher by nature. Would I go back - heck no! BTW, The 215/45s are the Proxes4 that are $94 at Autobacks.

I'm leaving tomorrow for a week so if you need those rings before then, let me know.

 

What's Autobacks?

 

It's a crazy Japanese high end auto accessory store that is about the size of an average Walmart. You have to see it to believe it.
