15" holies on an MCS?

I'm currently purchasing winter tires to put on a set of 15" holies I bought from a friend. Before I spend $300 on new winter tire for the rims I just wante dto check to make sure that the holies will fit my MCS. There aren't any brake clearance issues or anything like that right? Thanks.

Holies fit fine on an MCS, assuming stock brakes.

I run holies in the winter...



and yup, stock brakes. Your MINI will feel so much more tossable with these on! Part of me can't wait for winter to come around

Another good thing about using Holey rims in the winter is-

They are 15x5.5" wide which helps to keep the tire a bit more narrow and that will work better in the snow or winter.

Wide tires not as good in the snow.

Good luck.
