Just a quickie for all you Rim-biatches out there.. :smilewinkgrin:

Is there any reason a set of 17x7.5 4x100 ET45 wheels WON'T fit an 08 factory JCW? apart from clearing the brakes, which I don't think is an issue here :cool:

Depending on spoke design, that should clear the brakes, Ultraleggera's in that fitment do for example.

Only thing could be the hub, but ifs not another car manufacturer it would just need the right spigot ring

As said there shouldn't be an issue. Especially if your at stock height. Running a spacer on the front may also help if there is any brake clearance issues - but I can't see there being any

Coolio! Cheers guys! Spoke clearance and spigot rings etc shouldn't be an issue..
Investigating some aftermarket rims, just needed confirmation on that size :)
...coils will have to wait ;)
