I have come across a set of base Cooper 15" wheels that I would like to use in place of my stock 17" wheels on My MCS (for winter use).

Although the 15" rims do fit, I am concerned by the small amount of caliper clearance.

Is anyone using this type of winter setup successfully? Is there a chance that the 15" rims will flex, thereby causing nasty, nasty things to happen?

They'll be fine. Rotors and brake calipers are the same for Cooper and Cooper S.
