opinions on 15's?
 

im looking to switch up my current 17 r98's for some 15x7 enkei 92s.

i just want to know what people think about 15s on an mcs.

i have coils so i am going mainly for a stance look but i do dd it and i do the occasional track and will prob start auto xing a little. will it look to small in the wheel well?

thanks for any opinions!

I love the way 15's perform (and look) on my MCS. I own multiple sets ranging from 15x5.5 to 15x9......go for it!

Awesome! Hopefully I can get those enkeis but if not I'll def get some 15s. Do you feel the ride is harsher and could you post some pics? Please and thank you!

Just be sure you do not have a bbk...like the red JCW (aka r56 ) calipers and rotors...
They fit fine...ride fine...and are light. Just check for tire selection first in you possible sizes based upon the rim. Look is subjective...but I own 2 sets of 15's...and my OEM 16's...

Yea I have the stock brakes and don't plan Ok upgrading. Good to hear! Thank you

Compared to the my OEM 17" runflats, the 15's ride much much better!

Here are a couple pics...

i plan on running 15s too! i think they look amazing on a lowered mini. i plan to run a 15x8 +25 on a 205/50

ok so this is how my mini sits right now with the oem 17s.

a guy offered to trade me his 15x7 et35 traklite aero2s with 195/50 tires. i want minimal wheel gap so do you think it would be to small of a size?

also will this be a problem?

Go to www.willtheyfit.com enter your current wheel/tire combo and your new wheel/tire combo. It should tell you all you need to know.

Here's the old Works car on 15" rims...

I know that car! how are you gettin' on? 15's are awesome if you don't need a bbk. the ride is better and the look is cool.

hey greg! long no talk! its been good, been too scared to install the pulley but ill man up one of these days. in the meantime its been all looks and im buying an exhaust next weekend plus should be trading wheels tomorrow or sunday:)

off topic, but it's your thread. get that pulley on there! it is the single best thing that one can do with a R53. the 16% pulley won't hurt anything.

haha doesnt matter to me. yea i really do. i want to find someone in the area with a puller so i dont have to buy a new one and also to give me pointers lol

Check out Professor's setup for 15's. His rocks.

Now that's funny. If you are who I think you are (I'm pretty sure I am who I think I am) your name just appeared HERE.

Kind regards,

Ah! Very nice indeed. A case of mistaken identity however. How do I find a bit more about that pretty Mini?

Charlie: email sent.

It will bounce - sorry. I just updated that, as I had not given it a thought in years. I'll PM you a proper email address now.
