I want to get the team dynanmic pro race 1.2 wheels, https://www.outmotoring.com/mini-cooper/mini-cooper-team-dynamics-pro-race.html

Will there be rubbing if I get the 15x7 with e35mm and 205/55R15 tires?

Lowered at all I think the rubbing would be pretty severe, you need a good 43 offset for 205's.

You didn't mention suspension mods, so I'm assuming you're stock.

I wouldn't run 15x7, ET35, 205/55/15... even on stock suspension. You'll poke out up front and look silly.

If you want to run 205/55's on stock suspension, try finding a 15X7, ET 42-45.

yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that. I'll probably lower it with the tanabe NF210 springs.

Okay. NF's provide a relatively mild drop. With 7's and 205's, don't run less than ET42, and you'll probably get away with 205/55's, even with the drop.

Thanks, I'll just go with the ET45 just to be certain.

Can I run the ET35 in the back and ET42 in the front?
