    16x9 on my IS?

    (I have searched but couldn't find any relevent answers)

    I've found a set of 16x9 rims(4x100) with an offset of 25... Will these fit on my iS with no mods? I'm stock height right now but have looked into either an H&R cup kit or possibly the Eibach/Bilsten combo for a drop. I would definately like to stay away rolling/pulling my fenders if possible.

    Also, what tire width would be the best to fill out the 9" as much as possible?

    Thanks in advance for answers!

    You should have no problem fitting those on the car and I would go with a 275 to nicely fit that wheel......




    From what I have read you can fit 245's on the car but if you lower it with a cup kit you will have to do some serious rolling of the fenders. The offset of the wheels should be close to correct, you will def want the inner lip of the tire as close as possible to the strut to give you a bit more clearance for the fenders.

      You'll need to run spacers, definitely in the front to clear the strut housings with that offset, if you would like to stay away from fender rolling or pulling these are the wrong size wheels for you, if you do run these 225/45/16 is nice for a 16x9. I just bought a set of Cr7 16x9's with 215/40/16's et 15, they didn't clear the front struts but the rear was fine. I bought 10mm spacers for the front and 15mm spacers for the rear and rolled my fenders.

          Alright, I'm not very opposed to rolling the fenders but do not want to pull it at all. Too much work for the results IMO. Will they fit my car as it sits (spaced, of coarse)

          What size spacers would I need to run (Front/rear)


          Thanks some more

              Leave it at stock ride height, that'd be hot.

                  Come on guys...

                  It'll be dropped eventually (as well as have a set of plastic bumpers switched out)

                  I'm just looking at what I could do to most improve the looks of the car as is (on my current budget). Wheels are the most reasonable, as my current rolling stock will need new tires in short order anyway.

                  But seriously, If I had enough money to do everything I want to do to this car at one time I would have saved myself the hassle and just went out and bought a E36 M3 :oops:

                  Just looking for answers, not opinions.

                    16x9's on stock height will look far worse than stock rims at stock height. Lower the car first.
