Breyton GTS-R 17" on 2009 JCW with JCW Brakes

Yes, they do fit using a 5mm spacer.

Thanks,

sorry Mike, i didn't get an email notification of your post. i used pinstriping tape from checkers. the normal rim striping tape for my bike wheels was too wide. it's working out fine so far.

Hi alex, just seen the ASA AR1 wheels in silver on tirerack. Is there anyway i could get a set of those in 18" ? i was originally going to get the breyton 18's but i like the looks of the ASA AR1 wheels better if i could get them in silver 18". how much for (4) Asa Ar1 18" and i would also need a set of (4) 215/35R18 XL Kumho Ecsta ASTBlackwall tires. i assume you guys mount and balance the wheel and tire package to save on shipping cost? can you give me a rough estimate on the 4 wheels and tires mounted and balanced, shipped to 14218? how do i go about buying? can you send me a link?

Hi guys, I'm new here. Just ordered my mini Clubman, and are looking for some rims. But found them here, thanks to this forum.
I'm going for these Breyton GTS-R size 17

Rides shown here are looking absolutely awesome !!

However, still some questions to your specs BlueToy:
1. what is the size of these tires?
2. what is the color of your breyton rims? (matt black or gunmetal?)

Thanks a lot for helping me out here guys !

Hi paulteix,
are those matt black breytons? Because on the above picture they're looking rather 'shiny'.

they're a bit shiny. but after a few days of driving they'll turn matte thanks to brake dust.

FWIW there are a few posts in this thread that state you need at least a 5mm spacer for the GTS-R w/ BBK's

Ok ordered these from Alex today at TireRack. THANK YOU ALEX.. YOU WERE VERY HELPFUL.. They are being drop shipped to my refinisher in Bath PA and should arrive on Tues with tires and coordinating tpms parts. They will be painting them Mini white and then mounting the tires.. I will be picking them up hopefully by the end of next week where they will be installed. Stay tuned!

So I am ordering 205/40 18 Yokohoma S Drive on Black Breytons for my 2011 Clubman S. What spacers do I need to buy? They said 5mm. What do you guys recommend and where can I get them? Thanks!!
