hey, i just wanted to know something NON NISSAN

but will a 225/45/17 fit on the stock mini cooper S 17" sport rims?

i need this info ASAP!

how wide are the wheels? didnt they come with 205-45-17? I would think a 225-45-17 will be a bit wide...(if I remember its a 7" wide wheel)

-chet(plus, the stock pirelli is a run flat...)

stock goodyear eagle RS-a :-p

n yea they are runflats, but they suck arse, so i'm replacing them and too late, i got the tires...woah is my wallet lighter! :'( but they're awesome, n no clearance issues...my speedo might be slightly off tho

BTW, i picked up some Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

nice tire, but you should have gotten a 215-45-17, it wouldnt blulge on the wheel as much, or set off your speedo...

also, make sure the people installing them know to seat the beads at 60psi, otherwise you'll get vibe problems and wont know why.-chet

The 215/45-17 would be the largest size we have test fit.

yeah well now i've gotten my car back i've got a lil bit of scrubbing in the rears. this is only a problem w/ passengers (1 or more) and it's not too big of a deal, just wheel well lining, but it's ANNOYING AS ****!!!! anyhow, they're under warranty, so saying i cant remedy this issue, i'll just have them replaced for lower profile 225/40/17...after all they claimed i wouldnt have any issues...

grant i have looked around the tire rack's site I havent found the testing page/s what is the link and is there a seprate test page for the 240 with z32 brakes. If there is one sorry but i had a retarded moment while looking. thanx

[Grant@tirerack]

We have never done the conversion or any testing on that setup here at The Tire Rack. We have never done any in-house testing on brakes here since there are too many vehicle applications and options to even begin testing.
