Good Day,

I have been searching around various forums, magazines, and supplier web sites checking out the range of 18"+ wheels on MCS's. The most common by far are 205/35/18 on 18x7.5.

There are some larger combinations out there:
http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=27435 - 235/35/18
http://www.europeancarweb.com/featur...ini/index.html 225/35/18

Does anybody know how big you can go with a lowered, H&R 1" drop, without encountering serious rubbing or require modifications?

Post any pictures, articles, etc of larger than 205/35/18 and we will see what is out there..

Cheers,

I just had Goodyear F1 GS-D3 225/45/17 tires mounted on my 17" R90 Wheels with 0.6" dropped H&R springs on my MCS. They drive, handle, and ride fantastic! Did a little dremel work on the inside of rear wheel well liners, slight rubbing only in the rear on really big bumps, but nothing serious. Works great!
