Just wondering what a sensible size alloy wheel would be to go for if I was to fit some new wheels to my Cooper S. Its a 52 plate. Would I have any rubbing problems with 19's or would the best option be to go for a set of 18's?
Also what width?
Thanks.
:D
19's are far too big for a mini imo better of with 18's widest track i think is 18 x 7 althought im not totaly sire but its more about the actual off set as the oem rims all have a very close ofset
I would be keeping the std wheels aswell so the other set would be purely for looks.
I have seen the Replica MN01 - 18" John Cooper Worx wheels advertised for a good price. So these are a possibility in 18"
any 18s will be fine as long as there not to wide its just that on 19's you would get loads off rubbing and well imo look a bit daft as 18s tend to siut the mini jsut right
I've got the polished 18" JCWs on my S, and I've had no problems at all. You can feel most bumps in the road, but I found with the JCW suspension, this helps a lot too :)
18" wheels with 215/35/18 is about as wide as you want to go... if you go any wider, then it may protrude outside the arch and then the boys in the blue would probably want a word..;)
It all depends on the offset, but if your buying MINI wheels, then it won't be a problem..:approve:
I have 18" on my mini and they are perfect. Go for the 18", dont go any bigger .
18" on mini's looks the dogs bollocks
and we are STILL waiting on the pics you promised Kev...;):DQuote:

I WILL GET PICS UP ASAP :D
I'll hold you to that..:D
I had 18s on my car but they are now off for the winter and car is back onto the original tiny wheels. Am thinking bout selling the 18s I have now and will be trying some different alloys this year hopefully :D
Thanks for all the replies :D
Looks like it will either be 18's or 17's then.
now all you need to do is choose a sytle of Alloy wheel :p:D:D
The polished 18" JCW alloys look superb. I have them too!!!
