I am not sure about the MC wheels - but for the MCS the stock 16s are 16x6.5 with a 4x100 bolt pattern and an offset of 48 (not 40) and the optional 17s are 17x7 with a 4x100 bolt pattern and an offset of 50(not 40). Remember that if you are going to autox your MINI - the size has to be either 16x6.5 and within 6mm of offset from 48(so 42-54) or 17x7 within the same 6mm offset(so 44-56). If your wheels don't have those offsets you can use spacers.

If you get Allessio 17x8'' wheels they'll look great, just be careful about bumps and dips if you have passengers, because you WILL get some tire rub on the back wheels. Ron
