I'd go with a 225/35R18 on your car.

So these wheels can accept normal non-RF tires but the stock MiniS wheels can't? I want the Mini-lite look without the RFs.
Thanks in advance!

Could you possibly post a pic showing either the gray MCS with the Black top or the all around gray MCS having Rota P-1's installed?

Any wheels can accept non-run-flat tires.

Almost always, yes.

Thanks for the info!

Will 15" RBs fit on a stock R56 MC (non-S), or would I have to go with 16s?

You'd have to go with 16s, because of interference with the rear control arm and the 15" wheel.

No, there won't be an RB that will clear the JCW Brembo brakes without spacers. We have mounted the RB on a JCW car with wheel spacers, though:

Wonder how the white rotas would look on a white mini...anyone have any pics of that setup? I'd probably not opt for that, but would like to see.

That looks great...are those gunmetal or hyper black and...did you have to put longer studs because of the spacers in front?
Thanks!

Gunmetal. The spacer kit comes with longer bolts.

Assuming they're the same size as the late-model JCW brakes, 5mm won't do it. You'll need 15mm.

I am looking for white minilites or look-a-likes that are the stock size of 15x5.5.
Do you know if 15x6 wheels can be installed on a 2006 MC with no problems?

We don't carry anything in that small of a size. 15x7 is about the smallest, and RB doesn't come in that size/color/fitment.
