 18"wheels on a factory jcw hi Has anyone put 18"on a factory jcw? I was thinking of the 113s but was wondering if this would affect the handling adversely?...or would it improve? one more question...why does it need kds and streering limiter put on when the over all size of the wheel and tyres are the same as standard 17"? anyone know? thx david  |

| 18" OEM wheels have a 52mm offset as opposed to the 48mm offset of 17" OEM, a higher offset which requires, according to MINI, fitting the steering limiter and having the re-alignment done. |
