Does anyone have a picture down the side of the car with these wheels? I want to see how far the centers protrude.

This setup is asymmetrical, with 15x8 out front wearing 225, and 15x7 in back wearing 205s.

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I wanted to see. I found some pics of the wheels with a high positive offset and it looked as if the centers were sticking out, but it looks like they are just about flush on your wheels which should have the same or close to the same offset as the 17's I plan on buying. Much appreciated!

Figures....I see these pics and decide it's time to order them. I saw them on my phone as I was having dinner and on the way home my service light comes on...time for new brakes in the front. Being who I am, I ordered cross drilled rotors and stoptech pads for all 4 corners....guess the wheel have to wait LOL. At least the brakes will look good behind them.

works for me - brakes and rubber matter more than wheels...

all in due time!

PF01 is one of my favorite wheels we offer right now. The 15x7 ET 35is 12.1 lbs, 15x7 ET41 is 12.2 lbs the 15x8 ET35 is 13 lbs. They are offered in silver and black in 8" width, No black color in 7". These wheels feature MAT technology. This yields very strong wheels from cast blanks.

Alex, I currently use these wheels at the track with R-comps on my first generation MCS. I would like to use these wheels over the winter on my soon to be ordered Paceman, which has the same chassis as the Countryman. I believe the wheels will fit. Do you have snow tire recommendations for this application in the 17" ET 38 size? Thanks in advance.

Never mind. The Paceman/Countryman wheels are 5 bolt pattern instead of 4.

Sorry if I'm asking a question that has been answered already... But, I just ordered a set of the 17x7 et45 PF01's and am noticing in the pictured that it looks like they're using different than stock wheel bolts. Is this because the wheels will not work with stock wheel bolts? If they're needing different wheel bolts what are the options?

That is correct. You will receive the proper lug nuts when you order the wheels.

The Professor's car looks perfect. The stance, color, and size are spot on.

Yes, but you need to be careful which tire to use if you are lowered. These wheels will stick out 10mm more than OEM wheels

Using stock suspension you can use-
205/45-17
215/45-17

If you have a lowered suspension you may need to run more negative camber to tuck the edge of the tire into the wheel arch area. You can trim the wheel arch plastic. 205/45-17 will give you better clearance unless you want to go smaller in tire diameter than stock such as 215/40-17 or 205/40-17 but tire selection is much less.

Professor, would you please quote your tire size in the pics and how much your car is lowered... love the pictures!

Thinking about moving to 15x8's (215 or 225 would be preferred) with stock sport suspension on a 2007 MCS -minihune or Alex, any thoughts on the best tire size for 15x8's or 15x7's with my suspension?

Anybody have pics of these rims in 16x7, preferably with lowering springs? I've looked EVERYWHERE and only found pictures of minis with 15s or 17s

Alright so I managed to get a set of 16s for a pretty sweet deal and I'll be putting them on in the spring. What is everyone using for lug nuts for these? The stock ones fit well and look nice? I was thinking of just painting them black to match my locknuts.
