Help - Will 9x15 and 8x15's fit my lowered 323

[v6toj]

I have 7x15's on my 323i at present, it sits very low.

Thinking of fitting 8x15's front and 9x15's on rear with 195/45's on a stretch - Will it work? Will any modifications be required? grind lips inner off arches only or more?

8x15 on front needs a zero offset (et 0, definitely not higher as et 5 or so) i don't know how low your car is on front, but I think it wont fit because of when you steeri the car, your tires will hit the front valance. also with zero offset, your tires will be an inch more out then a 7x15 wheel
9x15 on the rear? offset -12 mm or or use spacers 10 mm thick. your wheels on the rear will be 50 mm more out then 7x15 wheels.

Cheers Martin, bought them anyhow and spent 4 hours with my mates trying them on. Watched the f1 gp later and noted that Jenson Button's crew only took 3.7 secs to change 4 wheels. We definently need to get quicker!! The good news is they do fit and the car looks totally awesum. I need to do some tyre swapping as the ones I bought have the stretch tyre look on the 9 inch rears which I think looks pants. I'll post pics when she's finiito
