Offset Question?

16x7.5 is not a problem.... but you need an offset of 25mm (48 and 51mm will not fit without spacers - which is not recommended). What kind of wheels are you looking to buy? TireRack has lots of wheels for your vehicle... reasonably priced.

Good Luck,
Asher

rims

Please check www.tirerack.com first... they have 8 hole rims, amg rims, etc. for a very reasonable price. I wouldn't recommend spacers... I heard from other people that it's not safe. But if you insists, most companies that sell rims should have them... I think I saw them on ebay also. Be careful though and do your research.
