Not a pic of the F56, but we took our other MINI home for Labor Day. Krista was taking pics of a sunflower field so I figured I would take a few of the Clubman.

Are those 18's? What are your thoughts on 17's or even 16's? How low of an offset can you go without rubbing or adding camber? Beautiful car!

Thanks I know it's not for every one, but I love it.
Yeah they're 18's. I'm definitely going to try 17's next. The 18's fill the wheel well really well but they leave a ton of room under the car. 16's would probably be hard to pull off, but who knows, I'm sure it could be done. It all just depends on how low you want to go and what size tire you want to run.
I think 17x8 et 35 would probably be about the max without camber, depending on tire size. These are 18x8 et 32s which are a really good fit for the rear but they poke too much in the front.

I think I need to bring the rear down a hair. Either that or install these 5mm spacers I have laying around.

I'm not sure what possessed me to look in the 5x108 classifieds, but I'm glad I did

Still a long way off from being fitted to the car though. Have to refinish them, buy adapters and figure out tire sizes first. Not to mention sell a whole bunch of stuff

That's what I'm worried about too. I'm also thinking about hammering the metal under the fender to try and push the stock arches out a bit at the end. The metal goes almost all the way down to the edge of the plastic arch of the F56 so it might work.
But what I really need is some camber adjustment. It's driving me crazy.

This picture was the deciding factor in my F56 purchase. It's clean and sleek. No giant spoilers, no obnoxious rocket bunny flares, simple understated wheels, and the perfect stance. Upon further review, I think I like this setup more than the new one. It's flawless. From every angle this car just looks perfect.
