How to fit Fifteen52 Tarmac Wheels

How would I fit these on a stock 2009 mini cooper s?

edit: forgot to include a size haha. Would a 17in wheel fit?

I'm pretty new to changing my car's appearance.. Do I need anything special to fit these?

Thanks

Need:
- wheel diameter
- wheel width
- tire size

Also, are you on stock or aftermarket suspension?

17"x7.5" ET42 4x100 -- What is ET42?

I don't know what the tire size would be, but something low profile to look good lol. I would only use these wheels in the summer months. April - October.

And I'm on stock suspension

ECSTuning has the wheels and it says they come with a "Set of Four 73.1mm to 56.1mm Hub Centric Rings"

Thanks

Yup, 17" diameter, 7.5" width, and +42mm offset.

Those should fit without modifications on stock suspension with a 205/45-17 or 215/45-17 tire. If you end up with coilovers or lowering springs, you'll have to look at camber arms and/or spacers if you get any rubbing.
