I think that I have read that the '07 MCS has bigger calipers than the previous generation had and hence 15" wheels won't clear. Hopefully someone else can confirm this.

^Yup, the bigger calipers on the R56 S will not allow typical 15" wheels to fit. I'd suggest you trade your 15" combo with someone who has 16", or try to find an aftermarket 15" that will fit.

Recent thread about using 15" wheels over JCW (R56) brakes and which aftermarket wheels will fit:

Altaminiperformance sells 15" konig feathers at a great price ($90) - according to Adam "they will fit barely" - if you wanted an option where you do not have to by both new wheels and tires.
