For track and autocross you can easily use them plus-
205/50-15
225/50-15
Use a 15x7 or up to 15x8 rim but in the back depending on offset you might need a thin spacer to clear the lower rear trailing arm.
Since the 225/45-15 is very small diameter vs stock tires you get lowered center of gravity and sometimes some risk of scraping.
Most 225/45-15 are not well suited for driving on the street. You can haul your track wheels and tires in your MINI easily and put them on at the event.
