I'm considering these wheels.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting

Will these wheels fit without rubbing issues? They are et30 which is ~15mm from the stock MINI setup. Would a 15mm spacer fix that or would the spacer make the offset ~et15? (I always get that confused )

I know the 225 tires may be a bit wide, but they shouldn't be too much of an issue on a stock ride height Cooper except at full lock right? I'm on 215/40 17s right now and they fit perfectly fine.

Thanks for the help.

Yah, unfortunately that is too much offset. The wheel has +30mm and a

spacer will make it +15mm...so it'll stick out much farther. :smile:

You want to try to stay within +40 to +48mm on a 7-7.5" width wheel.
