Question re: Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 16x7 4x100 ET35

I have a '09 MCS and am about to install H&R lowering springs (which should result in a 1.4" drop).

I'm about the pull the trigger on the above rims, but I want to make sure I don't get hit with any suprises. Do you guys see any issues with the 35mm offset? Will these fit without any additional parts/modifications? What size tires should I go with?

I'm a newb at this so any comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

205/50/16 is short enough you shouldn't have an issue

Go with a larger wheel. 16's look too small [IMO] on the R56. A 17x7.5 et40-ish with a 215/40-17 would look much better and offer even more grip and steering feel.
