I can't see how fitting those wheels and tyres to a razor sharp handling sports car is in any way sensible. I don't mean that in an insulting way or to cause offence, but it's just totally against my way of thinking. The offsets are clearly way out and the tyres will be just dangerous. Just don't see the appeal or why one would do it?

Personally if something is designed for a purpose, you can modify it to improve its efficiency or capability of fulfilling that designed purpose but to go away from it completely seems somewhat alien to me.
I would just be so shit scared of kerbing those alloys and bending the mating surface!
Definitely a marmite thing.

Modifying for looks. Fine if that's your thing and you like it, it's your car; however, if you post pictures and ask for opinion expect some opinions that may not be in line with your own.
But then please don't fall into the trap of claiming you didn't do it for looks alone and tell us it grips and/or handles and/or rides better than stock because, of course, that would be laughable...
