Its a chance, but it might not work.
We have VDO ones here with free ship a little less cost then the offical MINI one. Also it you have aftermarket wheel you have to make sure they will fit. Some aftermarket wheels are not made for TPMS.

Kiss the trailing arm
I was removing my summer tires today for the season and happen to notice this ...
It appears the rear tires have been kissing the side of the trailing arms. It's interesting that all the discussion on interference is either the front struts or fender flares but I don't remember seeing anything about this.
Has anyone ever noticed this before? Wonder if it's time for some spacers?

I'm a bit surprised and confused. From all the info I've read these specs should fit with zero issues....are we missing something?

Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2 18x8 (E45) gloss black wheels for my 2016 JCW just showed up FedEx
Took almost as long to get as the car itself. Ordered back in Aug. through OutMotoring.
The production run slot in the UK was the issue. These will be mounted with 235-35-18 rubber nxt spring on my silver white Johnny CW.

So this is what I finally was able to finish. Planning to powder coat the rims as I'm not a fan of the black chrome color. They are Yokohama advan kreutzer xi; distributed by mackin industry. 17x8 running on 215/45/17. Getting alignment done as we speak because the rear rubs on bumps and dips. Hopefully some negative camber will fix it.
Lowered on JCW coils, JCW BBK installed as well.
This was my only rim option even though it wasn't my first choice because this happened

17x8" Kosei K8R Wheels (et45)
215/45 Conti DW Tires
OEM Tire Pressure Sensors
< 37lbs per corner
No spacers, no rubbing, no complaints at all.
I've run these for 1,500 miles, split pretty evenly between stock suspension and JCW Pro Coilovers (with alignment) and they're a huge improvement over stock on ride quality, grip, and just overall performance.
You can buy them here, as I'm probably selling the car soon.
