BBS RS 8" wide ET16 fitting under Rivage archs
A quick one for the peeps in the know, Just got a set of BBS RS 8" wide with ET16. Sticking 195 45 on them.
Car is slightly lowered (Around 30mm), Do you think they will go straight on or will i need work.
Appreciate advice in advance

every car is different, 8j is 2 inches wider than standard rims, they should fit but depending how hard the shock spring combo is depends how much travel you will get and maybe touch the arches on big bumps or corners, one things for sure a 195 tyre on an 8j rim is gonna be seriously stretched and compromise your handling/cornering and acceleration, it will also expose the edges of the rim and leave them open to some serious curb and drain cover rash!!!
