15x7 rpf1 et35 on r53 with jcw brakes?

Curious if these will fit..?

A set popped up for sale locally..

15x7 rpf1 et 35..

Car is an 06 R53 MCS JCW with the JCW brake package (R56 MCS brakes)

Is there an option to go 15x8 that fits over the brakes?

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever find out if the RPf1 15x7 clear the R56/JCW brakes?

Here's your answer ! YES BUT you need to have the balancing weights on the back edge of the rim or they come too close for comfort on the caliper .
