Will 15" rims fit on a the S model?

My Clubie is in the production que for July 6th
I will be replacing the OEM 16's with some 17's non run flats for the summer months. I'm trying to have my MA see if he can order me a spare tire kit.

For winter I will be ordering a set of rims and winter tires. My question is, will 15 inch rims fit over the front rotors of an S? I'm assuming the size would have to be 195/65/15
I searched the forum but could not find anyone that has done that to a Clubie.

You might find that there are more tire options in the 16" configuration. I have the stock 15's for winter and have set of aftermarket 17's for summer.

As of last winter, there were no 15" steel wheels that would fit on a 2007 or newer MCS.

You'll need to verify if they'll fit, but I'll have a set of 15" alloy take-offs once my Clubman arrives next week.

Geoffv...Mini can consficate your vehicle if you perform a 'reverse mac' and downgrade its coolness.

yeah so the 15's aren't cool. These would only be for the winter, getting black 17's for the summer months.

Some aftermarket 15" wheels will fit. None of the OEM 15" can fit.

On the contrary, 15s have typically had some big fans around here!!!
