Will these fit

I have an E86 3.0si with stock turbine wheels and was wondering if the wheels below will fit. They have on offset of 25 and 8.5" width all round.



Some people say yes, some say no.
What is the lowest offset the e86 can take?

The front may take some work, the rear should fit. A squared setup on that car might not look ideal. Spacers maybe?

I have 19x8.5 +15 on the front of my e85 right now and the rim is just flush with the fender.

You'll need a 215/40/18 tire for the front and spacers for the rear.

I actually went and put the rim on and it is sticking out quite a lot on the front arch. 5-10cm I'd say so spacers will only push it further out.
The rears should be good.

215 is S2000/Miata sizes. Very thin and small. I would like to see 265s at a minimum in the front..

I know my 180hp can be too much for the road sometimes, but I manage :P

Back with my e46 M3 though I was running 265/35/18's in the front
