Will it rub ?!

[DanJackGrant]

Hey guys

I am looking to fit a set of new alloys to my MINI Cooper. I am wanting to put a wider tyre on such as a 205/40/17 or a 215/40/17. The only thing I am worried about with the 215s is about any clearance issues ? I don't want to fit the tyres then realise they are rubbing against the inside of the arches. I am also lowering the car by 30mm

Cheers

Hi

I have 215/40/17 's on mine and they clear, but Depending on the offset of the wheel Package your going for it will depend. have a good read of the FAQ section it may help you
The offset and bore dimensions are the most important parts to take not of

When you get them fitted remember to post some pictures :-)

What offset are you running on ? Was thinking about a 38 ? Then even considering fitting either 3mm or 5mm spacers
