Will These fit?

17"x7" 45mm offset Rims here with 205/40/17 on a totally base MINI Cooper non-s (no options). I currently have m7 springs and plan to use them with the stock shocks.

And lastly will I need new lugs or can I use my old stock lugs?

Thanks

No problem, they will fit fine.

Looks like you'll have a bit of a rough ride though. Why only 205-40s?
Why not a 215-45?

Yep, hopefully I can get the springs on soon but I have one final question..(hopefully).

according to the tire calculator, since I went from 175/65/15 to 205/40/17, my new tires will be going at a faster speed than what my speedometer suggest (2.130% too fast).

Will this mean that my odometer will also report the incorrect mileage?

and what size centering rings do I need for these enkeis?

Sorry for the newb questions

That is an interesting question...

Are the cars speedos and odometers calibrated to the wheels they were specc'd with, or are they all calibrated to the same specification?
