With a 20mm offset you really should go with 215/50/16 tires.
Our 16" Kopi wheels are going to have a 20mm offset - not sure what offset the genuine Alpinas are.
The 55's may be too tall with the H&R Sports and cause rubbing.

No-they're different.
Ours have a snap on feature with a tool to remove the cap.

I couldnt remember. i had a set of kopis replicas about two years ago and recently found these alpinas locally for 150 big ones, but they did not have caps.
As for the fitment, i have a set of Fittipaldis 16X7 Et26 with 215/50's Goodyears that look tiny, with the offset being different on the Alpinas im not too sure the fit of 215/55's. May work, ill post pics once alls said and done.
Thanks!
