15" wheels on R60

Hi everyone,

I'm rallycrossing my 2011 R60 All4 S and was looking into getting some gravel tires. Unfortunately those tend to only be available for 15" wheels and smaller.
​​​​Does anyone have experience with fitting 15" wheels?
Thanks!

I imagine you'll have interference with the brakes on a 15" wheel. Some members have tried 15" wheels on an R56, and had to get creative with offsets and spacers just to get them around the brakes. I'm thinking a 16" wheel would be your minimum.

I'm running 16" wheels for my winter tires and those seemed to fit pretty well. But yeah, considering the lack of information on 15" wheels, I guess I'll keep an eye out for 16" gravel tires!

15 inch wheels will not fit over the front calipers.
Photo of my 16 inch ... maybe 3_16 clearance, probably 1/8 inch clearance.

dont give up hope. Look at Rally specific wheels Like Braid or Team Dynamics.

A bit late to the party, but if anyone is in a similar situation, the Team Dynamics Pro Rally 15s will easily clear r55/r56 brakes. When I was younger and dumber I wasted good money using them to run snow tires in winter thinking I looked cool.

Anyone know if the clearance for the R56 is the same for an R60? I need to replace my wheels and want to try and get 15 if possible, if not ill just go the 16 route.
