Those BBS replica's will physically fit, but, they'll stick out a bit.

StickyMicky used VW/Audi fitment wheels on his fat bitch;

Sticky's car also had a wide arch mod hence they don't stick out

It's not about rolling your arches, although that will help, they'll still stick out.

Sticky had 22B rear's and Do-Luck wide front wings, hence fat bitch.

Would be cheaper to get a single wheel from a wheel specialist.

The offset (ET) will be stamped somewhere on the back of the wheel, usually on a spoke.
I'm guessing ET48ish and of course the PCD will be 5x100, wheel size 7x17

It's a Speedline Chrono that you're after

How come you "got" four and one was only 16"?

Where from? What have you done about it?

Well I got the car an it was parked on the drive and look at it the next day an thought something looked odd took me a while to clock on that on wheel looked bigger than other so I thought there would be a 16 on other side as that isn't a mot fail if the wheels are the same size on the axle but it wasn't 3 where 17 and 1 is 16 so I contacted previous owner an he never relised wich was strange so now as sourcing some wheels.. Was a bit pissed off tho.
