Will Fifteen52 TurboMacs fit on an F56 JCW?
A rep from ECS has told me that they will, but their website has the 2015-17 JCW in their system as an R56 convertible (btw ECS, you should fix that).
However I can't find any pictures/posts/etc anywhere with someone who has successfully put the TurboMacs on a JCW. Does anyone know if it's possible? Thanks in advance.
Not sure why ECS would say yes, I tried their pulldowns for an F56 Cooper S and it said they wouldn't fit on that. From other threads it seems that even wheels that fit any F56 often will not clear the JCW brakes without spacers.
I think I'd go directly to the manufacturer to ask, and be armed with all pertinent measurements needed.

If you go to the "select your vehicle" menu on their website, and select 2015>MINI>Cooper>John Cooper Works it automatically selects an r57 convertible with a 1.8t motor and you can't change it. So their employee probably saw the same thing on their end, and the TurboMacs popped up as a wheel that would fit.
I've emailed them about the problem, as it's caused me to order parts for the wrong car in the past, but they don't seem too bothered about fixing it.
Hello, Sorry for the issues. We are adding more F56 stuff in the drop down. The JCW F56 is not on there yet, make sure you see the B48 engine in the drop down. When you select JCW it goes to the older R57 JCW 4x100 or R56..etc. We are building the new F56 F55 F54 F57 very soon. You can always PM me in the short time.
Yea to clear the factory BBK but you are going to need spacers most of the time. I beleive no one has tested these yet with the JCW BBK. As we found this out with the NM eng wheels, so NM eng has wheels just made to clear the factory JCW brakes.
But they will fit the Cooper / Cooper S models w/o the factory BBK's.
They may clear the JCW BBK being 17x8 ET35 as some different 8" ET45 can fit but again not sure and also you may catch the arches being so aggressive so perhaps careful tyre choice is needed or some modifications to the arches or arch lining
