R56 Wheel Fitment Question and Pic Request
Wheel Fitment Question and Pic Request
I have a 2013 MCS hardtop with NM engineering lowering springs. I am searching for BBS RS rep wheels that will fit without having to add a lot of camber.
I did a search and I am finding some people are pulling 17x8 +20 wheels. I am currently looking at the ESM 002R wheels in 16x8 +20. Would it be possible to fit a +20 wheel without doing a crazy stretched tire, without running a lot of camber, and no rubbing issues? I do not mind a little poke (very little)... I do like the flush look. I know it is a lot to ask for...
Any suggestions besides the ESM wheels? Tire size and camber recommendations? Anyone with pictures of the rear of the car as I find this is one of the angles that are not too common when I was doing my search... I would like to see how much a +20 pokes and preferable on a 16x8 wheel. +25 or +15 pics would also be helpful.
Thank you.
EDIT: anyone know how much camber this guy is running? guess?

You'll poke with +20. +25 is probably the most you'll want to go. By then your plastic wheel arches will rub and be sharp enough to cut cheese like mine did.
I'm waiting on my 18x8 +32 wheels and that's as low of an offset I'd go with the R56, especially when I get it slammed. I don't want any further major rubbing.

poke
if you will go with the 16x8 with 20 offset you will be rubbing. I put some 16x8 with 20 offset and mounted 205/50 tires on it so it had a slight ballon affect. At first it did rub but after about a day the tires cut there way into the plastic arches and now i don't have rubbing.
