15x8 Pics please
I'm shopping for wheels and tires. I'm leaning towards Enkei PF01 or 949Racing 6UL in 15x8 size, with 225/45-15 Hankook RS-3's.
I really want to know what a 15x8 looks like on a MINI, I've searched NAM and Google with little success. Can you all help me out?
I'd also love to see how a 225/45-15 tire looks on a 15x8. I've considered 205/50-15's to expand my tire choices (i.e. Dirrezza Star Spec), but I think it would look pretty stretched on an 8" wide wheel.
Thanks

A 195/55-15 Star Spec doesnt look to bad on the 6ul. You will NEED to lower it though, and they are small tires and look funny in general, even on a lowered car.
195/55 on left 225/50 on right
195/55
Now 225/50-15 BFG G-Force Sports
Need any photos or have questions, just ask.

Depends completely on tire choice rather then size. The 195 was a star spec, and gripped VERY well, but the 225 g-force sport grips as well for short periods of time. Being what they are, 340 readwear, i doubt they will do as well on an actual track. Also, the 225/50 is a taller tire, so i have less gearing, AND the tires are heavier, etc. etc. etc.
Now, a 225/45-15 NT01 or something, yeah i suspect that to be a magic feeling set-up, and something i yearn to have.
