Will these fit??

Hi,

I have a 2010 clubman s currently with 17 and sport tires.

looking for a set of wheels and all season tires for the winter.

Will these fit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-mi...#ht_500wt_1182

They were bought in 2008 for a 2005 mini.

thanks

jeff

Yes, they'll fit. The bolt hole diameter, bolt pattern, and centerbore diameter of the OEM MINI wheels has remained unchanged over the years.

It takes more than bolt hole and center bore to make them "fit". You will be unable to fit the 2010 TPMS transmitters to those wheels - not enough of a flat spot around the valve opening. They will bolt up with no problems, but you will have to deal with the little yellow tire warning light on your dash.

Ah, dammit. Thanks, Herleman - I keep forgetting about the in-wheel TPMS sensors on the newer cars.

Still, contact alex@tirerack.com (he's a member here) - I think he sells TPMS sensors that can be added to the older wheels.
