Default Tire/Wheel Questions for the experts...

I have a BSP tC...

What is the Widest Wheel I can cram in there? I've not lowered it yet on it's stock 17's I want to lower it.

18 x 7.5
18 x 8
18 x 8.5
18 x 9

or

19 x 7.5
19 x 8
19 x 8.5
19 x 9

I'm seeking the gap free/VIP look
Cross VIP with RoadCourse/Touring Style

Planning to add an ARP Touring wing also.

Any Photoshop pros available for a concept?


Thanks in advance.

How much are you planning to lower your TC?

Well I go extreme sometimes...

Any suggestions?

I slammed my MINI lower than anyone has so far in the states... yet retained the performance value.

Performance, drivability and comfort are as important as looks.

Right now the only springs that I know if are trd. So I take it your going to wate untill some more brands start making springs for the tC? Now that is crazy to lower a mini. I have seen a few around here & in stock form they seem like they would high center on most of the speed bumps around here. How low did you go? Some where around 2.25" or so? <--Not sure what the average drop for a mini is. :oops:

I dropped the MINI about 2.25 inches on 15's

The average drop is an inch
Some of the extremes are 1.4 inches
