Yellow Cooper Big Brakes but standard wheels?

Hello, I,ve just bought a AP Racing bbk for my 04 CooperS
I wanted to keep my 17" S spokes on and was told a 5mm spacer would be ok, but found that they foul on the caliper, Does any body know of what wheel/tyres i could get that kinda look standard.
Cheers Neil.

Why not just get a bigger spacer? maybe a 12mm hubcentric spacer and they should fit fine and the AP isnot that much bigger TBH, i have them aswell.

I had my AP BBK kit fitted last week and have S Spokes too... I needed 25mm spacers to make them fit but they look a bit silly as they stick out a mile. So I've just ordered some 17x7 Pro Race 1.2's (white) with an ET 38 as these will fit without spacers. Ordered wheels only from Demon Tweeks at a cost of 495 incluing a free fitting kit, vat and del. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your replies/help yeah i think the 25mm might look a bit funny, looks like i'm gonna have to buy new wheels then. Cheers
