They SHOULD fit no problem at all, as i think they kept the offsets etc the same in order that the current wheels would fit should they purchase them

Don't know about aftermarket wheels, but I've seen R105's and R95's (both 18") on R56's.

A selection of r50/r53 wheels don't fit as the brakes are bigger on the r56, all r56 fit r50/r53 though.

18" won't have a problem with brakes, so if they fit fine with no rubbing on your current mini they should be fine on the new one, if theres a bit of rubbing etc nothing a spacer or two can't fix

I found that a set of alloys that i had fitted to my last Coop (18'' Titan Chaos) didn't fit the R56 as they 'stuck out' past the wheel arches making the car 'too wide' :o

Best of luck with the TSW's :D ;)

Gemma, I would do a "test fit" on an R56 to make sure....

I think if you asked myself and Marky nicely, we could do a quick swap over of one of your wheels onto his car to check.. :)

would have to check with him tomorrow, but can't see if being a problem. :cool:

I recently read that the current standard brakes on the R56 are the same as the WORKS brakes sold for the R53.

Maybe this helps in some way with the porblem...
