Hi, New here...nice to meet you all..

Just ordered an 06 JCW, should see it in a month or two...

Im looking for recommendations on new wheel and tire options, not neccessarily R compound, but something better than stock.

I have goodyear F1's on my R32 now, they are nice...

Was thikning about the OZ ultralegerras at 16lb's each...but cant find a decent tire. Do I need to run spacers?

thanks
Matt

 

No spacers needed. 205/50/16 give you plenty to choose from.

Cool, thanks Alex...

Any trouble with wheel fittment at the 16'' size and the JCW 2006 Brake Upgrade?

 

"Will fit under most Aftermarket wheel 17"+ and the following MINI wheels- John Cooper Works 18” alloy wheels
- Original MINI 17” alloy wheels
- Original MINI 16” Bridge Spoke alloy wheel (16”x6.5” IS48 Styling R94)
- Original MINI 16” Double Spoke alloy wheel (16”x5.5” IS45 Styling R87)"

Kumho MX's, Hankook z212's, and Falken Azenis RT-615 have all proven to be pretty groovy in my track experience... SO-3's are also nice, but $$$. BFG KDW2's are also great...

 

Wich wheel?

Alex

 

Not sure. Would like to look at the OZ ultralegerras, SSR's or any BBS that look decent. Just need a light wheel thats strong for track only use.

 

Tire Rack has a JCW filter on their site so you can see what wheels will fit. I am picking up my JCW on Sat. and will AutoX it. I got 16" SSR Comps w/ Azenis for AutoX ($$$) and 17" Kosei K1's w/ Goodyear F1s for everyday. Then I'm going to throw Blizzak's on the stockers for winter.

 

Damn, must be using it wrong, it only shows me 17's

 

Under a JCW shop for winter to see smaller than 17's.

Just went to the winter packages and only see 17" pacakge for a 2006 JCW MINI?
