Looking into upgrading the stock rims to a bigger and wider and lighter rim, what would be the max fitment I could put on my car without rolling fenders,
recently hit a curve and broke two wheels stock cast wheels, so looking into just upgrading the entire set and strap on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

If you look at the wheel thread, you'll see people throwing on 20's but if you have the AWD, you need to account for the diameter of the wheel + tire size and need to keep it similar to OEM or the AWD will malfunction. I have 19's and I think it's a bit large, I think 18's are ideal for sporty driving so you can have a thicker tire on it. I would say 19's would look the biggest without making the car look goofy with rubber band tires

^ Agreed. Plenty of examples in that thread for wheel and tire sizes LINK

​​​​​​It comes down to individual preference, but I tend to prefer the look of 18"s on the 3IS models too. There are some nice exceptions regarding 19"s, but I don't really like how these cars look on 20"s.

Just a couple of my favorites from the thread:
Wheels: 18x9 +35
Tires: listed below

Wheels: 18x9.5 +38
Tires: 255/35 18

Edit: Forgot to add that there's no fender rolling with these cars. The inner fenders are technically rolled from factory.

Thanks for the response guys,


My car is a RWD and after a ton of research I made a decision to not go with 20s because I cant go as wide as I want.. im now looking at 18s mainly but I do like the 19s I do feel they fill in the gaps great on these cars but im in a bit of a predicament deciding because I have Michelin Pilot 4S in the stock size as I had them on my oem wheels and I have 90% thread. Also I want a light weight wheel I want it to feel like an upgrade from stock.


This is one of the options im looking at

I especially love those bronze wheels that’s exactly the color im looking at for my wheels.

How much did you drop it to Achieve that Stance in the 2nd pic.


Im going for a low track stance sport for sporty driving.


looking into BC racing Br & RR racing coil overs


also upgrading upper control arm for camber adjustment with RR racing.

Just to clarify, those aren't pictures of my car. Besides RCF bushings, my non-F Sport is still stock. Those are other members vehicles that I like the fitment of. First one is on BC Racing coilovers, while the second one (bronze wheels) is lowered on springs - RSR Downs.

It'll be fine for the rear but I'm not sure if the 19X9.5 will clear in the front without rubbing issues. Most of the 19s I've seen posted here are x8 or x8.5 for these cars. Maybe some wheel gurus can chime in.

yeah after talkings to a ton of shops 3 of them I can fit a 8.5 or 9 in in the Diameter size of 18,19 in wheels, I would like 9in so I could run a 245mm front tire in the future but can only find wheel brands in my budget that carry only 8.5 in
