Wheels and tyres for Countryman JCW?

What fits on a CM JCW? It comes standard with 18in (19 as options)

Does the 17 (or even 16) size wheels fits? Do they have the same brake sizes as an All4? Or they are bigger?

Thanks

215/55-17 also fit very well on the CM, which avails a much larger selection of tires.

16" wheels and below wont clear JCW brakes.
17" OEM and most aftermarket wheels will fit, and will be lighter than 18 or 19 anchors. Stock 17" tire size is 205/45-17, and there is a decent number of top-quality tires available in that size.

i just looked in realoem.com

the front disc on the JCW CMS All4 is listed as 307mm diameter, the same as my 03/2012 build CMS All4

i have mini OEM Euro 16" alloy wheels for my winter tires ... the fit is close, but clears

The binding constraint is clearance over the caliper, not the rotor !

true but when i looked at one at the dealer, the calipers looked just like mine

what i was not sure of was the rotor size

if the calipers are the same and the rotors are the same size then the 16" wheels should fit
