Does anyone know if they fit the JCW? Found pics online of people running them but tire rack doesn't seem to think they do.

17x7.5 48MM offset
17x7.5 Team Dynamics pro race 45m offset do fit... Can anyone clarify?

The 45-28 offset shouldnt matter too much. What would matter is the spoke to caliper clearance. If we can somehow assume that image doesnt have a 5 mil spacer or something hiding in there, then likely good to go.

TireRack is not full of Mini enthusiasts lol. They only say no because the JCW doesnt come with 17s (is that right? I dont actually know for sure)

 

it actually does come with 17s with 18s being an upgrade.

 

Oh, gotcha. Noted!

 

I have SPARCO TROFEO 5 wheels 18 x 8 offset 45mm, backspacing 6.30", bolt pattern 5-112, with JCW brakes. No spacers, no problems...it’s also lowered.
If those wheels you want have the same spec they will fit.

 

Just run a spacer if they dont clear, you can get 2mm to 15mm lots of choices. I recommend converting to studs too, wheel bolts SUCK

 

+1 We have those wheel stud kits and spacers to help you out.

TD 1.2 17x7 ET45 will not clear JCW Brembo unless you put a spacer on it. ET35 will fit.

 

TD 1.2 17x7.5 ET45 are advertised to clear JCWs, is that correct?

Also what spacer is required to the Sparcos, they are 17x7.5 ET48 I was thinking 3mm should be sufficient, but I am assuming due to super low production numbers of the JCW the information is severely limited.

 

TD ET45 is too close and will need spacers. Dont know about the sparcos

 

The RSe05 17x8 +45 that I run do clear without a spacer, but they are extremely tight between spoke and caliper. This is what I mean.




You are wise I think to be doing due diligence. Those are some mighty beefy calipers. An offset of +48 on my own wheels would not fit.

I prefer to avoid any spacers, for several reasons - but that is just my own view....

Cheers,

Thats tight. Splitting hairs.
