Mini Cooper S snow wheel/tire question

[freerangequark]

Hi,

I'm hopefully going to be a Mini Cooper S owner soon, but first I need to sell my Miata.

I have a nice set of snowtires/wheels that I would like to use on the Mini.

They are 195/55R15 the lug pattern is 4 x 100 and uses a 21mm socket.

Will they fit the Mini Cooper S?

Thanks!

The Bolt pattern WILL bolt up , the Type of rims may not clear the brakes on an S
I have seen some 15's fit but others not due to the rear shape of the rims

Thanks for the reply.

The tires are on alloys rather than steelies. I'm not sure if that matters at all but I'll try to find a local mini to try them on. The clear the large front brakes on the Miata, so I'll keep my fingers crossed

Thanks!
