yeah they clear easy. no problems at all! The ride is a little harder than the 16s i had on but thats expected with the lower profile tyre and bigger wheel. After a few days tho you get used to it and its all good!

I did have run flats on them when i first got them but the ride was too harsh with them for my liking so i got them taken off in the first two weeks to non run flats and its 100 better! Easier ride, smoother. Much better with out run flats!

The MINI will fit 19's

Most people say that 17's with Normal tyres are the best option Personally thin 18's are great with normal tyres (by normal I mean not a run flat)

Just do a search, a lot run 18s and lowered 25-35mm with no issues (me included)
