17x7.5 - 43.5mm offset?

A guy at my work is selling a rims in this side. They're off of an early Integra.

Any insight to if they will fit? I've been searching and can't find a clear answer.

Thanks!
Todd

i don't know if that offset will fit, but the MINI has a 4x100 bolt pattern, does that match these rims ?

A quick search shows that it is possible it would fit.

Just confirm that the bolt pattern is 4x100.
17x7.5 is fine- should clear the brake calipers unless you have upgraded to a big brake kit.
+43mm offset is OK with stock or lowered suspension on the MINI
Hubbore hopefully is at least 56.1mm and if it is larger then you might need centering rings.

I would not expect them to be very lightweight. I think you mean the rims are aftermarket rims and currently on an Integra (Type R?).

Also inspect them- inner and outer edges for any damage.
Are there any tires- some will be too low on load rating for the MINI and some will be the wrong outer tire diameter- too small or too large.
Would it be rims only- if so you can do a test fitting- be sure to check both front and rear for rubbing.

I'm using Volkes ce28 that are 17x7.5" with a 43 offset.
Tires are 215/40/17, BBK, and car is lower than stock. No problems at all.
