Hi
I have a 03 Copper S and I'm considering swapping the stock 17" wheels with 15" Rota Slipstreams. Will the following size fit?

15x6.5
+40mm offset
4x100 bolt pattern

I plan to use 205-50-15 Khumo Extra 712's

Any help on correct sizing would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Welcome to MINI2

The 15x6.5 ET40 4x100 Rota Slipstreams will work fine, but 205/55-15 tires are a better choice for the street.

Thanks for the help MINIAC! Good advice on tire size.

Would a 15X7 Rota Slipstream work? If so, what woulld be the appropriate offset? Just want to be sure before ordering. Thanks for your help!

The 15" Rota Slipstream is only available in a 61/2" width. However, they also produce a 16" wheel that is 7" wide.

Check out www.rotawheel.com and also www.rotawheels.com

yes, they will fit, but you'll probably need hub rigs.
