Advise on Volk CE30 17 x 7.5

Hi all,
I'm kinda 95% sure of getting the Volk CE30 17 x 7.5 wheels for my AB R56 MCS (with sport susp). Please note, i will not be lowering the car. And will using the existing Toyo T1-R 205/45/17 tires.

My concerns are:

The CE30s only come in the 7.5 width. Will it stretch my 205 width tire? Most possibly the next tires i will try 215/40/17 but will that cause rubbing then?

To my understanding, Volks are not actually ment for the mini, thus their centre ring bose size is somewhat larger then our 56.1mm. Centre ring spacers will need to be fitted. Is this an optimal solution?

And lastly.... anyone with the CE30 wheel on their mini? would love to be able to have a glimp rather then leave it to my imagination.

Thanks.
