I've considered the TD's in a 16" but if the ride isn't too bad, then maybe....
Ughh...both setups offer a pretty harsh ride, but that's mainly because of the stiff suspension setup. However, I was surprised that the new 16" wheels with 225/45 tires felt and handled significantly better than my other 17" wheels with 225/40 tires.

I would probably go with a set of 16x7 (or 16x7.5 if they made them) TD wheels if I were to do it over agian.

New 16x7 Rota RBs in gunmetal, with 205/55/16 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. My only issue is that I didn't think that just 3/4" extra diameter would make the tires look so FAT. Oh well, my winter tires are 205/50/16, which will be better. . .

Clubman Wheels

Does anybody know if the Tenzo R Type M Version 1 7x17 42mm offset wheels will fit properly on a clubman?

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/t...5.html?image=0

Will they rub at all?

Looks like some people have them, but not on an 08 Clubman.

thx

What is the hub bore size on these wheels? Are you able to mount them using the stock lug nuts?

What 225/40/17s do you have? I've only seen Nittos or Hoosiers.
I'd like this size to replace my 215/40s in about a year.
