mine are the 8' wide ones but thats the smallest they do in 18's
16 or 17 inch are the five spokes and you prob need only 7 or 71/2 wide, this is mostly dependent on the tyre you want to use 215/40/16 (is this what most folk are running in the wheel and tyre gallery? go check.....)
Most important issue is offset esp on a MINI and when you get 7 1/2 or 8 inch wide rims...
Check out MINIACS good work in the WAT data to check offsets.
Personally I would choose a better tyre too , maybe Goodyear F1???
Let us know what u decide
