There are literally hundreds of threads with this same question and an answer.

Thanks Mike. I'll search up. Was a Btw since I'm here sort of question.


Also. OEM visors are nice. Was between OEM or weather tech. Price and the fact that OEM clips on won me over. They also look great on the black paint.

Yes they'll fit fine. I suggest getting better tires though and just keeping those crap tires on the stock wheels as spares or road trip tires or something. If you have the money to burn on new tires I mean. They don't do BBS justice anyway, they're UGLY tires

I'll answer your question. Yeah the tires will fit on the wheel. I've run 16x7 on the stock tire. OEM visor's look way better than weathertech

Half an inch wider than the stock wheels...why wouldn't they fit?

Whenever asking about wheels you also need to make sure you list the offset and disc size (if applicable)

Width is only half the equation otherwise

Offset has no impact on whether tires will fit though.

I could see how it could be taken both ways.

2 problems, he's worried about the tires fitting. Next line, he's worried about fitment on the car. OP will have to clarify.

He didn't mention anything about aftermarket suspension. I can't imagine a 16x6.5 4x100 set of BBS R90s have any sort of aggressive offset.

Im fairly confident that they will work and fit on my car. Just curious if the stock 185/55/16 will fit the actual rim without issues. Anyways. I'm sorry for dragging this on in the wrong thread hah. Thanks for all the help though.

I did slap on my blox weighted shift knob on today. Much nicer than the stock knob. Only issue now is that the stupid armrest is too high. Haha.

I clearly did not read his post correctly now that I have reread his question

+1 they should Fit fine as long as offset isn't too aggressive and they need to be stretched

What. 185's will never stretch onto a 6.5j wheel.

Never say never, what about a O offset or negative offset older wheel?

^That doesn't change the wheel width though?

I can confirm i've had 185s on 7" wheels before and it barely stretched, it just looked good. You need 8" for it to start looking trendy
