hi,

i am buying new wheels for my car and am wandering what 16inch TD pro race 1.2s look like, could people please post pics and if the car is lowered, offset etc please

help much appreciated

16x7 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels are available in 35, 40 and 45mm offsets.

ET45 would be best for a lowered MINI.

thanks, would et45 be ok for standard height mini also, as i may lower it in the future, is et45 wider than et35, or the other way around? thanks

The lower the offset the more the wheels are pushed out. As you go from ET45 to ET35, the closer the outside of your tires come to the wheel well trim. ET45 is the lowest offset on OEM wheels and is the best choice if you want to lower your MINI later.

Something like this I'd imagine

These are 17"s BTW, but you get the idea

ok, what is the best offset for 17inch of same wheels? i only put 16inch in the title because i have pictures of mini's with 17inch 1.2s on, i may be lowering the car, but will be 30mm or less, probably over a year away, thanks

thanks for peoples help, think i will be having 17inch as i won't be able to lower the car for a while and 16inch will look too small

I run the Et45 on -35mm KW springs with 215/45 tyres (used to run 205/45 and 215/40s as well) None rub except the 215/45s (adn then only a little under full load with the rear loaded with stuff or people. Fronts never rub. Mine could do with a bigger -40 or 38 et on the front at least maybe even a bit out on the rear to make it look and handle better.
