Just purchased a 2005 mini S for my wife and I am looking to put winter tires on it. I purchased a extra set of 17 inch mini rims and I am looking for winter tires I was wondering if 205 50 17 would rub? I know that they are about 1/2 to 1 inch taller but are the same width,and there is a a much greater slection in 205 50 17 any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I've been running the 205/50/17's on my 05 cooper for years no rubbing and it correctsthe 3mph speedo error

 

I purchaced a set of General Altimax Artics wife drove it home from the tire shop and said the car rides and handles well with the new tires. Thanks for the advice.We are expecting a couple inches of snow tonight so she will have a chance to try them in the snow tomarrow
