Using a wheel hub to wheel adapter to change the bolt pattern from 4 to 5 holes will add some width like a spacer would, at least 19mm more poke.
Adding that to the offset of the 5 bolt wheel would give you even more poke. Using stretched tires or excessive negative camber would allow somewhat of a semi flush fitment but it would be extreme and even worse with a very wide wheel.
Check with this site and ask them-

If you lower your MINI then you get even less clearance, combined with a wider than 7" wheel and you will make things worse unless you choose a tire diameter that is much smaller than 24" (OEM is 24.4" tall).
