Offset; what options do I have?

[Aus323i]

I have my heart set on these rims, but I have read through the suspension and wheel section and am a little confused
The dimensions are F:16x8 et18 R:16x9 et20. Would these possibly work?
I understand I will need to do quite a bit of modification to the guards to roll them.
There is also the option of F/R:15x8.5 et17
Regardless of the work, what would I have to do to make the 16's work? i.e. spacers?
If that is too much, same question for the 15's?

Cheers,
Max

You need ET13 up front to get clearance, so 5mm should do it. You'll want a 57.1mm centre bore also. You can try rears without spacers and see what happens for clearance.

Thanks Mark,
Is that for the 16's or 15's?
And add a 5mm spacer?

Sorry for the questions

you should be good with 16's and that offset. the reason yu need a low offset with 15s is because you end up touching the inner side of the rim on the balljoint. with a 16" it should clear it..

Thanks for the help nas80,
When it happens I'll tell you how it goes
