Yeap, HomerJ purchased my old wheels. I had very little rub, I never trimmed the car either it was so little. Mine was a 05 MCS, I think Homer has a 04..
So, even at stock height it will vary from car to car and also how much weight you put into the car..

I promise you will not be happy with a 225/40/18. The rubbing will drive you nuts! Go with 215/35/18's

similer wheels
[quote=RallyMINI;1206268]Thanks....totally forgot that he moved up to 18s
His car seems to be very high off the ground still though, i guess not the "lowered" i was looking for:
[I just bought similar wheels, of course prob. paid less than yours, and mineare silver finieshed, anyhow mine are 18X7.5 w/ 42 offset- your mini looks lowered and if so, what size tires are you running on, for I am currently looking for a set and plan to use lowring springs later on.... thanks!

Minihume: Thanks for your suggestions!! I got my wheels and tires on my mini yesterday. I got a blowout on my run flats-so my boss bought me some tires for my new wheels... I'm running Nitto Neo Gen 205/40/18 Thanks Again- see my updated gallery if you want, but I think they look great!!! Now all I have left is to save up for the lowering springs.... Thanks again!!!
