14" rim question

I've got a few sets of 14's from my BMW's, so I was wondering (a bit soon, yes I know) if 14" wheels fit over the brakes.

I've got a set of snows I'd like to run, and they are already paid for.

I don't have my mini yet, otherwise I'd already have checked.

No, 14" wheels of any type will not fit the MINI. Doesn't fit over the caliper whether stock R50, R53, or R56 MC. The JCW brakes are even larger and are standard on the R56 MCS.

So minimum 15" rims for most MINIs and for the new R56 MCS or any MINI with JCW brake calipers it's minimum 16" rims.
