Changing the Rims. Anyone done this?

I would like to change my wheels on my F56 S and would really appreciate some advise if anyone has done this or thinking of doing it. I presently have 7x18 PCD: 5-112 Offset: 54 with Center Bore of 66.5. Work Wheels have suggested specs of 5-112, 18x7.5 +49 0 disk front and rear. Please excuse my ignorance but will this work and what effect will the change have on my car. If I get these wheels they will need to be specially made so I want to get it right. Thank you in advance and please be gentle as I know nothing about wheels.

I have changed mine - to 18x8 Speedline Marmora in white with an offset of ET 45.

They are very close to the inner strut - but fit fine.

Your wheels will fit fine with that size - but if you want to lower it, you will need spacers to clear the struts!

What Work wheels are you going for?
