Wheel sizes and offsets for 07 MCS, R56?

I've read of this forum quite a bit, but I'm still not sure of a couple of things in regards to wheels for the 07 MCS.

I believe the stock 16x6.5 has an offset of 48mm and a hub of 56.1mm.

I've read on this forum that the 07 MC and MCS have the same brakes. If this is true then it would lead me to believe that I could put some 15" wheels on my MCS if they had the correct offset (whatever that may be) and a design where the spokes have sufficient clearance (whatever wheels other than stock that those may be).

Can anyone confirm for me that 07 MC and MCS have the same brakes? If they are the same then what would be good offset for a 6" wide rim? I'd be looking at 205/60/15 tires.

In regards to 16" wheels, what would be a good offset for a 16x7 rim if the stock offset on a 16x6.5 is 48mm? I'd be looking at 215/50/16 tires.

Thanks,

Mark

The front discs are NOT the same on the MCS and MC ... 294x22 versus 280x22.

The rear discs are the same ... 259x10.
