I am picking up my new 2011 Clubman S next week. I currently own a set of 17" S-Lites and and 15" Holeys.


Will 15" Holeys fit on the Clubman S? i see the brakes are larger, but i couldn't find a concrete answer anywhere if there is a problem with 15" wheels.

If they don't fit, i would keep the 17s for winter tires. The second quesiton is can either of these wheels be retrofitted with TPMS sensors?

 

Holies will not fit. Need 16s or larger

TPMS will fit both

 

He's correct^^^

I would use the 17" for summer and a 16" for winter.

Remember the bolt holes go from 12mm to 14mm between 1st and 2nd gen wheels.

 

holes are all large. thats an aftermarket wheel problem

 

So many ppl here saying the first gen 12mm OEM wheels does not fit the 14mm of the second gen R56 without having the real experience of actually trying. That is not true as the holes are big enough just like what one member here said. I just sold my 17" S-Lites from my March build 2004 to 2010 R56 owner for his winter wheel/tire without any issues. Prior to selling, I also called the Mini dealer to make sure that I am not going to screw the buyer.

 

thanks to all of you. i was slowly piecing this information together but i didn't find a single place with it. i think my plan will be to keep the SLites and add TPMS for the clubbie. i just got the call from dealer that i should have delivery early next week! rock on.

 

Agreed... I have Holeys on my Clubman (non-S) and they fit without issue. The fit was very tight around the calipers so I would imagine on the "S" you may have issues.

 

I say sell both of them and get yourself soem lightweight wheels.
