Konig MP3 - do they fit?

17x7.5
+42 offset
4x100 and 4x114.3
with 215/45/17 tires
What do you guys think?
I have an 04 Mini Cooper with those tires on it, but the rims need to be replaced.

Do you have stock or lowered suspension?

IF stock suspension then it will fit but it's a little taller and wider than stock but still ok.

Which tires? Kumho Ecsta what? How worn?

If you are lowered then in the rear there will be less clearance.

Completely stock.

I'm asking as I do not know what offset would effect the car.

The 215/45/17 are on my car right now on aftermarket ZEN rims. The rims came with the car, the tires I put on. Kumho Ecsta ASX, newish tread.
They rub a little right now at times, but overall they're good handlers. I need to swap rims cause the ones on it are unbalanced.

And also a side question, can I reuse the TPMS from my aftermarket ZEN rims? The valves are rubber if that matters. I don't have a light on, but I know it works.

These rims should fit OK with stock suspension.

TPMS can be moved from one wheel set to another. Be careful not to damage them when moving. Try to keep each wheel oriented the same, right front TPMS goes on right front new wheel unless you have already done a tire rotation and TPMS worked fine with wheels in different locations.
