Default Mille Miglia MMS wheels

I just got a set of Mille Miglia MMS wheels for my V. They have 235/60/18's on them which makes me believe that they came off of a SRX. The guy I bought them from said they will fit my V. I did a quick mock and it looks like the wheel clears the front calipers but only by a couple of mm. Before I put the proper size tires on them, could somebody verify if they have the same clearance with their Mille Miglia wheels. Thank you!

I use those wheels in the winter and they just barely clear the calipers. Be careful putting them on and taking them off so that you don't chip the paint on the calipers. I use a little anti seize on the hub face so they pop off better in the spring time.

They fit fine. When I bought my car used it had the MM wheels on it. I used them for a couple/few winters, then parted the set out for people to use as spares.

They fit great with no issues. We've been running ours for maybe 25k miles with no problems.

I have one as a spare. I've only tested it on the rear but it fits fine. As with any wheel be careful not to knock off any wheel weights when you mount and dismount. They hit the calipers pretty easy and the sticky they use isn't always great.

Milles are 18x8 vs the stock 18x8.5width. Great for skinny winter tires and spares as they fit better in the trunk wheel well than stock.

Installed mine today and snapped a quick pick from inside the wheel showing the gap between the caliper and wheel spoke. Looks closer from the outside that I guess it really is.

Thank you for the pic and the replies. I got my Cooper Weather Master WSC's mounted just in time for the first snow here in WI. I decided to put the winter tires on my stockers because 3 of them are checked, plan on running the Mille
Miglia wheels for the summer.

I would think that running the snow tires on the Mille Miglias would be a better idea since they are a narrower wheel and leave the stock wheels for the warmer months with wider performance tires.

I thought about that too, it really drives me crazy that 3 of the stock wheels have curb rash on them though. The Mille's are perfect. If I'm still running the stock size of 245/45/18, the 1/2" size difference doesn't matter, correct?

Not really. I'm running the Miglias because my stocks all had bad clearcoat and were yellowed. I'd like to get rid of mine and go back to stock wheels honestly as I'd prefer the wider wheel. Will I notice? Who knows, but I always like to go wider than stock when I can.
