i like these wheels but i havent seen any minis with them maybe cuz there new... but i was wondering and this question goes to anyone who knows about offsets and sizes etc..

will a 18x8 with a 45 offset fit? or would i have to go down to the 17x7 size?

i need some help!!!!

heres a pic in bronze

 

Do you have stock suspension or lowered? Any plans to lower?

For 18x8 rims +45mm offset you are OK but closer to the inside suspension components than stock by about 0.3". Just be careful not to go too wide on the tire and not too tall.

The most common tire sizes for this rim would be -
215/35-18 lots of choices. Fits rims 7-8.5" wide, 23.9" tire diameter
and
225/35-18. In this size there is-
Goodyear eagle F1 GSD-3 for $198 each 280 treadwear, 24.2" tire diameter
Fits rims 7.5-9" wide, 21 lbs

No need for 17" rims

 

hey thanks so much for the insight and info.. i really dont plan on lowering at all, unless i can lower a tad bit.. and i do run the stock suspension... but im glad to hear ill be okay running 18x8 w/ a 45 offset and ill make a note of the tire sizes u stated..

thanks a bunch!

 

those do look amazing ... would like to get a set of the new M's or the DC-5's in the photo below for my future HC/S Clubman ... dark bronze with siver lip would look great I think.

anyone know where to get the M's online? or just a reliable place in general for Tenzos?

 

as an FYI ... check this thread on another forum about the M's ... the spoke stick out further from the lip giving them a weird look. A darker wheel might not be as prominent, but the machined one on that car looks strange.
