Yes but my question to that is... Will it rub?
I just purchased some 16 inch Mini Mags and have a pair of 205/55/16 studded winter tires from my mazda lease last winter hanging around.
I was told to put 205/50/16 on my Mini... Im wondering if I could get away with putting on that extra inch.

I dont think studded would really make a difference if they are or not.
What would change on having factory wheels and aftermarket wheels? Why would one touch more than another?

Depending on the wheel's offset it might rub the inner wheel well outer edge if the offset is not enough. Granted it would take quite a difference for that to happen with only a 1/2" taller tire. Gut tells me if you haven't lowered your Mini you sould be just fine. Use the 205's and wear them out and when you get replacements go with a 195 size.
BTW I use 195/55 16 Michelin X-ice studless tires for playing in the snow!
