Come on. It's a Mini, not an Asstra.

i reckon you could probably get them to fit, but you would need a tyre with a stupidly low profile. At one point i nearly bought a set of wheels that were 14x7, now the smallest tyre i could find to fit that (and that took me ages to find) was a continental sport contact that was 195-45-14. This was not only slightly too wide (but usable) it also made the diameter of the wheels slightly bigger than those running 175-50-13, which would obviously mean a different ride feel. I dont know if it would be possible to find a 15" tyre with a low enough profile to fit under the arches. You could ring around and ask though.
I used the link below to calulate tyre sizes etc..... could be useful....
