If I put 215/45/17 on a 17x7 wheel on a r56 lowered on NM springs will I have rubbing issues?

I run 235/40 on a 7.5 wide tire and i have barely any rub. Maybe every now and then on a dip. I am running Nm springs too. So i'd say that no you wont rub.

Dude, the back drop to this photo is just amazing. Not only can you make a clubman look amazing, but you make photos look amazing too. The audi wheels are killer. Are you running adapters?

Does anyone have a pic of a mini with XXR 518 gold wheels?
I've been researching for a new set of wheels for my 05 BRG R50 and I really like the XXR 518 gold rims.
I was told that they sell 17"x7" 4x100 rims, it would be nice to see if anyone else here has awesome taste as well....lol

Enkei SC03 Sport Tuning
215/45R-17 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

Very happy the way these wheels look on my Mini. I knew I wanted a multispoke wheel that did not have universal lugs. Ordered off tire rack with new sensors, everything worked perfect. The ride of the non-runflats has certainly taken the edge off as well.

I am debating on removing the "Enkei Tuning" decals around the hub for a cleaner look. Thoughts?

Isn't that "decal" stamped in the casting? Do you plan on grinding it off!!

It's just a sticker, looks like they will come off easy based on my preliminary fingernail testing. I'll post some pix after I remove them.
