15" R81 Imola "holies" on a R56 non S?
I've been looking around for a solid answer but I'm getting conflicting results.
Am I to understand that the R81 Imola "holies" WILL fit a non S R56 MINI? The part where I'm confused is that I read they will not fit the R56 because of the larger brakes(gen 1 JCW?) but does that apply to ALL R56s or just the S? Thanks everyone for helping this newb out. :lol: |
They're standard on new Coopers, so I presume they fit.
15"s won't fit on an S, but are standard on a Cooper. The larger brakes are on the S, the Coopers have something smaller. |
Alright, that's what I thought. I'm new to MINIs so I wasn't sure if the holies had changed from gen 1 to gen 2.

As long as the R56 cooper has base brakes you can use the holey 15" wheels

So, these wheels will not fit my 2011 hardtop Mini S? No 15" will fit my car. It has to have 16 or 17"? I am trying to buy some winter wheels and tires. thanks.

Find a set of 16" take offs. Sometimes they can be had for a bargain price. Tire Rack also has cheap alloys that would work.

Yup, they fit the MC HT non-Turbo. With a little elbow grease and a few rattle cans you can make them look great and go faster too! :grin:

If you go to tirerack.com and enter upgrade garage as an R56 Cooper S you can see what wheels and tires are possible for winter/snow use. |
hey guys!!! Thanks for all your advice and help. I found some 17's locally with like new snow/ice tires.

great pic - so the imolas will work fine with 205/50-15?
205/55-15 and 195/60-15 are better sizes for street use, 205/50-15 common for track or autocross use. |
