Now THAT is how to use a Countryman! Mine looked the same till this past weekend thanks to the snow we had. I think we should start a thread of pictures of Countryman in use (DIRTY). You see all kinds of pictures with them all looking pretty, but when I was trying to decide on a color, I wanted to see what they looked like in use....at least the way I use it. Thanks for posting!

Ha ha...those are my thoughts exactly! I "tried" to do it without taking off the wheels, but didnt get very far. Sway bar and short shifter come next week, so not too far into the future.

Yeah, fronts only work because you can turn the wheels and make room. If you can do that in the rear, well mud flaps would be way down on your list of concerns!

Thanks. They are American Racing NOVA 18x9 with a 245/40 tire. The lip is machined and the center is matte grey. Hopefully it will warm up enough this weekend to stick one on to see how they look. I got them cheap enough to take a chance on the 9" width. I've seen people in here with 9's on the back, and ECS sells countryman wheels that are 9 so i'm not anticipating a big issue.

Finally replaced the factory runflats with conventional tires. Definitely quieter (though new tires are generally quieter than worn ones), and a bit smoother ride. We'll see how they do over time. Ended up with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS. Didn't even get hassled about going to non-runflats like some others have posted about.

Great,
Post up some pics when you can. Its easier to do it on the rear with the wheel dismounted for the hardware. Fronts you can turn the wheel to the side.
This is a good thread for it.
