General Tire Question.

don't got a mini yet but, i've picked out wheels already and i have a question regarding wheel and tire sizes.
I've picked out some wheels that are sized at 18'' x 7.5''. The mini 18'''s are sized at 18'' x 7''. The extra half inch won't matter in terms of interfering with the fender or anything like that right? And also, would i get the same tire size as the mini 18's for the 18" x 7.5 or would it likely have to be a slightly different tire size? thanks for the help...

18x7.5 is OK, wheel offset should be about +38 to +45mm. If you lower your MINI you will probably need about +40 to +42mm offset.
4x100 bolt pattern. You might need centering rings to fit between the 56.1mm MINI hub bore and the inner center of each rim facing the hub.

Tire should be 215/35-18. You can shop at tirerack.com if you don't have tires picked out yet. Contact Alex@tirerack.com for more info.
