Will this offset + width fit my 03' MCS + what tires? (17x 7.5 +30 17x8 +24)
As you can see guys, I'm a noob with the whole offset deal. Thought I'd seek some advice from seasoned vets on here for some help.
Looking to purchase some wheels and this was the size
17x 7.5 +30 17x8 +24 ....
question is will they fit, rub? if so what can I do
and what tires would you recommend?
If you can help me out, I'd definitely would be grateful.
Thanks

I have GY F1 GSD3 225/35-18 with 18x7 et52 or (et48 with spacers), but needed 5mm wheel spacers on R53. I also have Toyo R888 in 225/45-17 on 17x8 et42 needed some liberal cutting of plasitc and fender trim, really it was more the rather tall 45 series size not the 225 width that made it rub. But the R56 has A LOT more room though, some have run 235/40-17 on both cars, but the R53 needed some cutting to fit.

Most MINI offset sizes for 17s would be 42 to 48 can use spacers to push out-but can't do the opposite.
BTW: What wheels are those on odd sizes?

Go to MotoringUnderground.Com and ask the wheel Gurus there..
similar to what you are asking. here is the thread.

Ppl on this forum are running 9" wide wheels and they're is alot of good infromation on offset and chamber settings to make the wheels fit. But good luck in your choice of wheels.
p.s i am in the same boat as you. Been doing alot of research on wheel sizes/offset/chamber/coilies/etc..

ET=Offset
ET is a measurment of the wheels offset. The offset of a wheel is the measurement in mm from its hub mounting surface to the center line of the wheel. So as an example the offset (ET) that you are talking about 20-24ET would "push" the wheel out, whereas a 45-48ET would tuck it in the wheel well more. Take a look at this:

Btw: that offset might be for e34, make sure you have a 4x100 bolt patern.

Firstly....spacers move the wheel outward. You SUBTRACT the width of the spacer from the original offset. A 5mm spacer makes a 40mm offset wheel become a 35mm offset wheel. As offsets become lower, they move further outwards from the car.
In terms of the wheel fitment....It's an aggressive stance, but it will fit. You'll want to run 205/40 or 205/45 tires with some tires that provide enough stretch for you. 205's are a very mild stretch on 8's, but it will be enough to give you some clearance. I'd also advise that you leave the stock camber (inherent in the rear) for a little added clearance. The rear's will poke very slightly, but it will be a great look and shouldn't cause any rubbing. I've helped with wheels fitments far more aggressive than this that don't rub so you'll be fine.
Tires that stretch well:
Falken 512
Falken 912
Falken 452
Dunlop DZ101
Toyo T1r
