    Hi

    I am currently considering options for ditching my run flats but with 5mm tread left on the tyres don't want / cant afford to just ditch them.

    One thing I am considering is selling my current wheels and getting a relatively cheap set of 16" wheels and putting new tyres on them.

    I am looking at the Xlites but don't think they would fit over the brakes of my R56 MCS.

    Does any body know if they would fit with spacers and if so what size?

    Still not sure what I will do but like the idea of saving 2kg per wheel and cheaper tyres but need to offset this with the looks.

    Thanks.
