HELP! 2009 Clubman (Not an S) Wheel sizes please!

I am looking to purchase my first set of NON stock wheels. I have the 15's that I am going to use for a winter set.(Blazzaks were awesome!)
Now I want a NON Winter set so I was hoping for some direction in the max wheel size I can put on her.

I was looking at 17X7, but I read something that 16x6.5s are only allowed above the 15s.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Any and all avail wheel sizes would be great if anyone knows!
Thanks!

Whoever / whatever told you that is false. You can run any plus size wheel you like.
Increasing in diameter just requires the tire sidewall to be reduced so the overall rolling diameter is the same.

Also, the Clubman did come with available 17x7 wheels from the factory.

So If I went with the 17X7s what is the appropriate tire size? I've picked out the wheels in Tire Rack.

For a 17in wheel, the OEM tire size is a 205/45-R17.
