Will these wheels fit on my R53??

I may be getting a set of Autostrada Modena wheels. I just need confirmation that these will fit and won't rub.

16x7
Offset 39mm and 42mm
4x100
Hub bore: 57.1mm

They look like this..


Any help will be great!

Yes, they should work. I think you might need hubcentric rings because of the center bore size. I think MCS is 56.1. I am not sure if the 57.1 will be an issue or not. I am sure others can verify. Other than that i dont think you will have any issues rubbing.

They will look great on a MCS!!

Ya! I think they would look awesome. I don't think they make that small of a hub ring. It would have to be around 0.5mm thick. I'm glad to hear that rubbing shouldn't be an issue though!

yeah that would be a small ring plus the lugs should help center the wheel to the hub.

A nice stretched tire would go nice with a nice lowered suspension.....nice stance flush look!

Good luck....post pics if you go with them wheels!
