I like the silver/polished ones better, but I'm sure those could look OK depending on what your car looks like.

Btw, I would go 16x8 +0 all around. Looks much better and you can rotate your tires. A win win.

Ya they look good, but I have a white 240 so the black would look better to me, and I was just thinking about going with the 15's because of fitment with the offset and everything. How do you think the fitment would be, I looked at the 16's and they said you might need to roll your fenders for them, and I dont really want to mess with that yet but the 15's it didnt say that. Well bottom im just wondering how the fitment would be if I get these rims so let me know what you think about the fitment!

Yeah id prob go with the 16 x 8 + 0 all the way around. If you add a little camber you should be ok. Im runnin the 16X8 XXR 501's with 205/45/16 and i think it looks fine.

My car is white like I said just above lol ya I probably will go with the 16's with the + 0 all the way around. And would they fit good without any camber? And do you have any pics of your car with them on?

They will definitely stick out without any camber. You're gonna have to roll your fenders and if you want them to be flush or even more sunken in, you're gonna need a pull. That is unless you're running quite a bit of camber, alot if you want them sunken in past the fender.

If you want the best look of those style of wheel, look for 16x8 +15. Those ONLY require a pull and fit great. But I don't think the 513's come in +15. I know the 501's do though.

Here's a pic for reference (501).



Here's how the 513 in 16x8 +0 will stick out on STOCK (little to no) camber.Link: zerothread?id=301273&page=9



The +0 will stick out but they look good. And of you run some camber, you'll get a nice aggressive look. But even the 16x8 +15 will most likely require a pull depending on what size tire you run.

I will send some pics of my car when im on a faster connection. my car could prob be ok with no camber because my tires are pretty streched, but it might not look as good with a fatter tire. I went with 16's because 15's look a bit small in the wheel arches but that is just my opnion. You're white car should look good with just about any color that the 513's come in.

Ya thanks man, I think I might just go with the 15's cuz then I could have more room for the tires or I will go 16's and stretch the tires, but I dont want to do a roll or pull to my fenders. If you go to my page I have a thread of my car If you guys want to look at it! but right now I have 17x9,s and I still can fit two fingers in above the tires and I have eibach sportline springs.But that picture looks like they didn't do a fender pull or roll.

Here's another pic of the 513s. This car makes me want these REALLY bad, even though I already have a set of SSR's.





I e-mailed him btw and they are x8 +0.

One more thing, rolling your fenders isn't hard AT ALL and is almost mandatory if you have wheels that fit properly.

Ya, I think if I get those rims then I wont have to do a fender roll I think I will have enough room with both the 15's or the 16's whichever ones I go with,But I think I will If you have looked at my car.

That made no sense, but I will say, even if you get something like a 16x8 +15, you'll most likely have to roll your fenders.

And if you need to run camber, you're gonna need things like RUCAs and various other suspension components.
