I have found a deal on some 15'' MINI steelies with winter tires, but still can't find a definitive answer on whether or not they will fit the R56. I've seen mostly 'probably not', but not a response from someone that tried it and failed or tried it and succeeded. What's the final word?

 

No they will not fit. They will not clear the calipers.

 

I figured as much, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

 

I believe you will need at least 16 inchers to clear the big brakes the R56 comes with.
