Hi everyone,

I've been looking for 17s with 8-9 staggered
Really difficult for 4x114.3 and I haven't the time to do a 5lugswap atm.

Been looking at 16x8 +25 - that run 195/45/R16 tyres - what are your thoughts on 16" wheels on the 6thgen sedan?

I found a decent deal for BBS replica wheels in that exact size mentioned above

Should I wait it out and search for 17s or continue to look for 16s?
Also, with intentions to have a little bit of that stance look will a thickness of 8" suffice on a 16" diameter rim?

Thanks in advance!

You're better off with with a wider wheel than 8" but it can be done.

Especially on a sedan. You just have to be extremely low! As in a whole lot lower than you are now.

16's are fine on our cars you just have to have clean looking 1s that are wide & have a good offset

I rock factory 16's for the cheap tires!!! Plus that's the smallest that will fit over my mini BBK!

Too small, though I've seen a couple 6GA's pull it off. You do have to be very low with perfect specs.

16's are for legality matters, not rims.

17's, minimum.

18's, ideal.

19's, questionable, but not unreasonable.
