R56 Brakes and Wheels

I have a set of the R56 MCS brakes to put on my car and I want to know what size wheels will fit over them. Can I run a 15" or 16" wheel with these brakes? I am planning on running a 16 but wouldn't mind a set of hollies to run as well.

The 15 inch holies won't fit over the R56 MCS front brakes. None of the stock mini 15 inch wheels will fit. Lots of us have researched this one. A search of this forum should get you lots of information on this one. I was looking for 15 inch wheels to put snow tires on (the tires are much cheaper) I ended up contacting Alex at Tirerack who set me up. They have aftermarket 15 inch wheels that fit...not many, but give him a call or go to their website and search under winter tire and wheel packages.

Thanks, so my 16's should have no issues? I will be running a 19 mm spacer as well with these.

Any OEM 16" wheel will fit over the larger brake rotor. As far a s the 19mm spacer question goes I've not used spacers so I'm not the guy to answer that one. Try searching this forum for "spacers" and see what you come up with.

Thanks for the help johned206. I really just needed to know if they will fit with a 16" rim. The spacers won't be an issue.
