16x7.5 ESM-02 Fitment?

[ac3]

Looking at ESM-02s, need help with fitment.



Which offset / center bore should I get?
16x7.5 ET20 / 57.1
16x7.5 ET35 / 73.1

I'm interested in the 16x9 rears but how much modification would that require? I was thinking 7.5 all around so I don't have to worry about rubbing... need this for an every day driver...

Thanks!

16x7.5 ET20 / 57.1

No rolling of fenders needed.

Will ET20 make them flush? I'd like them pushed out as far as possible

Nope. They will just look OEM-ish.
What do you consider flush? Willing to compensate tire width?
If so you will need to roll rear fenders. And if you want that look, go with the 9's.

I'm going for a look like this. So gorgeous...

That car never fails but I have an itch saying that those are real bbs wheels. Esm wheels have a different feel to them once you know they are reps. I still want a set of reps but even though 9 inch wheels look good, if you're not pulling >250hp/tq, their function is outweighed by form. But hey, to each his own. I'll probably end up with 9s and if I do, you can completely disregard this post as I will be a hypocrite.

Bimma360

Dang it I thought they might have been RMs but I guess BBS did make a few sets of 16 inch RMs but they are super rare.

So I'm picking up these in 16x7.5 ET20 / 57.1, will a 225/45R16 tire be ok or will that rub (I will be dropping the car)? BTW- that tire size is hard to find! Especially for all seasons!

I am also running a 16x7.5 rim (lenso bsx) and also wondering if 225/45/r16 will work without rubbing as I need to replace my rear tires. I might just leave the Falkien 502's 205/40/16 up front as they have a lot of tread left , What do you guys think?
