R56 15' Rims

I saw a few threads like this but I wanted one. I need a set of winter tires. I want 15 inch rims so I can put some fat studded tires on it. Will 15 inch rims even fit?

15" usually fit an R56 justa Cooper fine... but not an S - you need 16". [I saw some postings about 15" on MCS for race use but I wouldn't bother going through that effort]

There are a few 15s that will fit an S but they would not be good for winter tires. Go with a set of crappy 16s.

ITs just easier and cheeper to get 195/65 R15 snow tires. They have the most options too.
