forged alloy wheel
All you need is the right wheel dimensions and offset.
The hubs on the e are 5x114.3mm PCD studs, and the stock dimensions and offsets are:
16" Rims:
I've been looking at a few options for fitment when it comes to a set of summer wheels, but haven't decided yet between 17" and 18" rims.
If I'm going 17" I'll probably go 7.5x17 ET45 with 225/45/17 rubber all around to even out the rim widths, this will mean I'll get +10mm strut clearance on the inside of the rim, plus the wheel will be 10mm further out in the arch on the front. The figures will be +5mm on the rear. Not sure if I'll also want to add spacers, but I'll probably see how the general wheel fitment looks first.
18" gets a bit more tricky, and I'm still looking at what offsets and wheel width would be better there, but I'll probably be 8x18 at a ET30 with 225/40/18 rubber all around, that should give about the same internal clearance at the front, and step the front wheels out by 24mm. The rears should be about 9mm more in terms of internal clearance, and 20mm or so stepped out in the arches.
Still doing math and figuring it out, wondering what the best combo would be, but there's a few aftermarket wheel threads on this forum you can take a look at!
