i was having the same thoughts but got alot of help, 16" can fit and can be lowered safely.

BBS Montreals are stud pattern 5X100, not 4X100. So you'd need adaptors to make them fit.

Because they are an OEM wheel I would imagine the offset would be pretty high, something in the region of 40-45.

You can get adaptors but just beware on the size of them, as these wheels are 16" and combined with the adaptors you may run into issues.

£150 is a good price if they are in really good condition. No doubt you'll need different profiled tyres though.

What is the width and offset of them?
