Is anyone running a 215/40-18?
I'm looking to replace my RF tires and am looking at the Hankook V12 in a 215/14-18 but can't seem to confirm I won't rub.
The stock tires size has limited options (two to be exact) and I'd prefer not to go to a shorter sidewall (215/35).
I'm looking for some experience from Clubman owners.
Thanks!
Todd

If the tire size is 215/40/18, I ran those with my GP Wheels on my R53 with no issues whatsoever. They are now on an R56 and to my knowledge with similar success.
You can refer to this site if you need some help with plus 1 - plus 2 ect.

I'm running 225/40/18
I put 225/40/18 Bridgestone RE960 Pole Positions on about 4K miles ago and have seen no problems. I was looking to soften the ride a bit as this is an everyday driver. You can feel the difference in the corners as the hard sidewalls of the run flats made the car feel like it was on rails but the car doesn't rattle and bang over bumps now. My speedometer is closer to being accurate and the wheels fill the well better also. This is on a 2009 JCW Clubbie.
