15" wheels on r56/r55 MCS

Are there any 15" wheels that are known to fit over the front brakes on the Cooper S model? Preferably something 15x7, or even 15x 6.5

thanks

Most 15" will not fit the Cooper S Gen 2 Front brakes, but they will fit the Cooper. You will need 16" minimum most of the time for the Cooper S front brakes.

Some do such as the 6ul's. I have them in 15x8's et36. Mines a '06 JCW so I have the same brakes. Clearance is fine and could almost go without spacers. A guy on here Drew-something has them on his r56 needs a little more spacers then I use. He posted his info on the 8"+ wide wheels.
