I doubt your going to see this, for a few reasons:

Most (not all, but most) MINIs sold in the US are S models.

Most who are doing suspension and tuning mods right now to the R56 seem to also be focusing on the S (again most).

Most 15's plain just won't fit over the larger S front brake calipers (OK, that means just about all).

Lastly, with the more rounded body and higher beltline of the R56, 17's look somewhat undersized. 16's look small (though they perform fine)... and 15's (even if you found some to fit) would look, well... lame (sorry, just my opinion).

I have a set of 15" Konig Helium's that fit, but I don't have H&R springs. So I can't exactly help with your photo request. However, I can tell you that with the wheels and slicks on the stock suspension, there's quite a large gap to the fenders.

Well, generally speaking... your front lip shouldn't be much different than other cars running 16, 17, or 18-inch wheels. Though the WHEEL size changes... the profile of the TIRE changes as well. Overall wheel/tire diameter should stay about the same (check www.tirerack.com for conversion tables). So drop that puppy ASAP!!! Then get those 18's on there when you can.
