Hey all. I was wondering if there was anyone with 18x8 wheels on an MCS. I'm looking into the AXIS Supermesh which come in 18x8. I also want to drop my car at the same time, would like the m7 springs with the 1.3"
drop but will do the h-sports (~1" drop) if it means no rubbing. What do you think. Will 18x8 rub of dropped? I personally don't think I'll have a problem but was wondering what you all think. Thanks.

 

hamann PG4s are 18x8

there is a member here who has it on his car.

 

supermesh are cool looking wheels. what's the offset for 4x100?

 

Honestly, I don't even know. I passed by a local wheel shop on the way back from an unsuccessful trip to the dealer just to see some wheels. I saw the supermesh and asked if they would fit my car and the guy told me it would in 18x8. The catalog didn't have any other specs other than 18x8 and 1-piece wheel and I didn't ask because I was in a rush to get home so it didn't occur to me at the time. (Not to mention the only thing that was going through my head was the picture of my car have 18s ) I'm going to call the same shop tomorrow to make sure they have them in 4x100 and get the offset. I'll post back tomorrow with the information.

 

check out piaa wheels they have 4x100 in a super mesh w/a lip

 

I was going to put on my 18x8 JLine SDMRL2 on my MINI, but I decided to sell her...when, iono. (Hence the FS thread for my Brembos..the wheels will soon be FS too.)

If you are looking for mesh:


Anyways, there should be no issues rubbing if you went with the standard 215/35-18. I am running H&R sport springs, which I believe are lower than the M7 springs...correct me if I'm wrong.

 

how much of a lip on those beauties?

 

1" lip in front, 1.75" lip in rear. Fronts have BBK clearance.

 

nice!! wuz about 2ask if they were staggered r' they 2 or 3piece? weight specs?

 

I'm running with the EVO 18"x8" and 1 3/4" lip's all around. I also lower my MCS with Alta spring with no rubbing.

 

thats me and i have h&r coilovers and h1 camber kit . needed to shave a little on the rear for it not to scrape otherwise it looks great

 

what kind are these wheels looks great and how much if your selling them?

 

Nice wheels.. Do you have any shots from the side? to better show the lip?

I think they retail for like $600-$700 per wheel IIRC.

 

Nice wheels. Ok well I called one of the local shops and the offset for the 4x100 is +32 or +35.

What would be the widest possible tire for the 8" width? Would it be possible to get staggered wheels and go wider than 8" in the rear, say 8.5"?

 

you're probably going to rub a great deal on the back..

But you could go wider on the rear... there's a picture of a mini with a 17x9(i think) on the rear and looks killer. Not sure what he did with the rubbing problem.

*Correction.. it's 17x9 http://tinypic.com/35x1w

Would rolling the fenders or shaving off some of the inside help the issue of rubbing? Again, i'll be dropping the car on m7s or H-Sports (if i were to get wider rear wheels i'd get H-Sports since its less of a drop). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Do you have a picture of the mini with a 18x9 VoiD?

 

U' can go 8.5 all around but if staggered is ur' thing, U' could go wider than 8.5 in rear- 9.5 or more- its all about who builds them. i've been savin' up for a total custom wheel build- so i know that some wheel builders will say no it cant be done but others will say go for it. its about the cash money U' see!!

 

r' them wheels ADR?? do u' know?

 

No.. it was a 17x9

rollin' fenders on a mini isnt easy cuz the front is actually a bonnet but rears might work not sure? i've look at it b4 and have not figured it out- ill be getting my wheels 1st then will worry about how much to drop. know what i mean. -I'll b' working the body around the wheels-

 

1 3/4" lip sounds good any pix? what's ur' sidewall? that alta is not as low as m7 right?

 

I love the MINI with the 17x9 rears. I hadn't even seen the thread when i thought about going 18x8 front and 18x8.5 or 9 rear. But i have decided that because the front tires will wear too much and it'll be expensive to keep buying new tires all the time, i'm gonna go either 18x8 all around or 18x8.5 all around so i can rotate wheels. Oh and the wheels I want have a 2in lip all around .

 

is it a flat lip? rolled edge? or r' the spokes curved?
oh i just saw ur' list i've seen D' Axis b4, good choice go w/them over d' Flix much nicer lip. is it the seven mod?
