a local R53 friend runs 15 inch hollies in the winter, should work, but test fit to be sure.

Pre 2007 MINIs have a good chance of many 15" wheels fitting, including steel wheels.

2007 and later MINIs have less of a chance of 15" wheels fitting. I do not believe that anyone has found a 15" steel wheel that does fit a 2007+ MINI.

The brakes changed in 2007, getting bigger.

Only the MCS if it's 2007+ .....the 2007+ R56 Cooper should be able to fit most 15's as well (they come stock with 15s)

Since it looks like you have one of the first gen MCS's.....yes 90% of the 15's out there will fit.
