I've came across a good deal for some 15 inch factory wheels and I was going to put them on next winter. Will these fit on a R52 '07 MCS cabrio over the OEM calipers? I'm also looking at 16's but if I can fit the 15's that would save me some money on tires. Currently I have the factory 17 x 7, 205/45/17 currently on.

 

I have the 205/45/17s and would like to swap out to 16 inch wheels & tires once the factory tires wear out...are ALL 4-lug Mini wheels compatible on the wheel (I have a 2011 Cooper S, btw).

Thanks!

 

07 cabrios have the 'older' (smaller) brakes like the 06 MCS, so yes, theyll fit, if you dont have JCW brakes

if it were a 07 MCS coupe they wouldn't as it would be a gen2 car

Harvey the 16s will fit yours...cant go 15s due to the S brakes. any 16" plus size stock mini wheel should do. They changed lug bolt size from the earlier cars to the 06.5+, but it doesn't affect stock wheels... all holes are large enough.

 

Thanks ^^Adam for the advice, so 15's I will purchase!

 

I wasn't going to drop from 17s to 15s but am glad to hear going to 16s with a slightly taller tire will work.

Thanks again Adam!
