Looking at new wheels, and can't stop eyeing a set of Sparco Terras. My r56 S has the oem 16x6.5's with 45mm offset. These are 16x7/42mm. Anyone have any experience with the quality of sparco wheels? Will these wheels even fit well? I'm wondering iff the added .5 width might make me run into some rub but I doubt it.

(edit: found a set with closer to oem offset)

 

I'd like to find the extra width wheel also. I'm using full wheel covers so I don't care what the wheels look like, just a light weight. stiff, 16" x 7" wheel would be nice.
No, the additional 1/2" will not rub anything. The stock 17" x 7" wheels work..! You can look up there with a flashlight and be able to tell if removing 1/2" of the diameter will hurt any clearances.
And actually the 42mm offset should put the rim closer to where it was with your 6-1.2" rim offset location.

P.s. - The Terras look like they might be a little heavy, although there is lightening pockets all over..! But they also look like they'd be nice and stiff.
