for increased side wall, less risk of damaging the rim with pot holes in the roads....and better ride comfort. It also fills up the wheel gap perfectly. I had 215/40/17 with my s-lytes, and that just rattled the car. The new set up is perfect. I don't care about them being taller, I actually like it, and the speedo change does not bother me either. A bunch of people here and other MINI groups run the 215/45/17 set up.
Thanks for the info.

*Note: the picture quality is not my doing- this is what it looks like when you view the PDF at 75% (100% looks even worse! go figure!)
As far as the "drop" on this puppy, I really like that stance- Are those 18s w/ a 2" drop? Any guesses on the tire size?

my guess is thats its just a photoshop so there is no way of knowing or even if its possible.You will notice that the perspective is totally off on the rear wheel since its a fake image. Most people struggle to go very low on 18s....you've got maybe 3 or 4 cars running 18s that are actually low.

Ah hah! I didn't even consider Photoshop! (Shows you where my head is at today as I struggle to focus on my homework!)

I have wheel envy, those are incredible.
In the event you decide they are not to your liking, and I can't imagine why, please contact me and consider them sold.

Gnatster and Konky - you guys have a WHEEL ADDICTION!
There's a 12-step program for that... hmmm... 12... wheels... that's like 3 sets, right?
Thankfully, you both have excellent taste. Kudos.

Hmmmm well it's to bad you just have those 2 wheels...i guess putting on the drivers side helps so you can pretend you have a full set 
... Are they 17's or 18's - why can't i tell 
and whats the weight? Looks real nice
