You will be fine.

Stock 18" MINI wheel are 18x7 et 52mm, 205/40-18 tires.

You will be only a little wider (10mm= 0.4") and only a little deeper (2mm= 0.1")into the wheel well with that offset.

The mounted tire will be about 4mm or 0.2" farther out from the wheel well.

you'll have to run a skinny tire to clear. do you have stock suspension? that makes it more likely to work. a 7.5ET45 with 215 width is tight on a car with coilovers. worst case though....a $30 set of 3mm spacers will fix things if you're too close on the inboard side.
