Volk TE37V 16x7.5 et25, will it fit?

As the title says, will this size fit on an R56 without rubbing/poke? I'm lowered on NM springs (practically not lowered at all) and I love these wheels. I'm fine if they sit flush, but I don't want any poke going on as I don't plan on getting coilovers anytime soon. I'll be using them with 205/50 tires.

Please advise.

Well after doing lots of research and looking at other's setups I had to pass on these wheels. They would have fit, but would only have looked right with coilovers. I went with Enkei RPF1 in 16x7 et35, should look really good and not stick out and look out of place when I get them on.

Post pics when you get the RPF1 mounted. I have a set of 16s in the same specs and would like to see how it sticks out/tucks in the fender

Will do. It's going to take a while since Tire Rack didn't have that size in stock.

I haven't had time to take proper pics, but here's two to get an idea of what it looks like. I'm on NM springs with bilstein shocks and 205/50 tires. The wheels are pretty much flush with the fenders.

There's no rubbing, just lighter steering feel and improved handling dynamics.
