I've considered the 215/35 option, but this size is minus 5mm in the radius compared to the original 205/40. There's already a lot of daylight between the tyre and the wheelarch on an R56 and I don't want to increase this and I don't want to lower the car either due to the ridiculous amount of speed bumps in St.Albans! The 215/40 option is only plus 4mm in the radius compared to the original 205/40.

I recently saw an R56 Cooper with a set of 215/40 R18 after market wheels at R Tec near Hatfield. The car was driven away by a young lady, tyres didn't seem to be rubbing?
