They will look brilliant, but the car will need to be loooooooooow to pull them off.

At 8" wide you'd also need to ensure the offset was spot on. 8) I love Schmidt alloys though. :D

8" x 17" would look just right.

the OEM wheels are 17x7 at ET46, so I'd be looking at ET40. The inner arch/strut should just clear at that with an extra 6mm of poke on the outside to bring it that little bit nearer flush. 8)

You need to be looking at ET35-38 for an 8 inch rim.
