Thanks in advance,

Your fine I am running 18s and there are no issues aside from mine are a smidge to wide...

Will 16" wheels work on the sport model? I'm wanting to get some dedicated winter tires and wheels for our 04' sport X-Type. Wasn't sure if the brakes were any different than the non sport model as some other makes of cars that are labeled as sport models have larger brakes. If 16's will work what width and offset is recommended?

My stockers where 16s so it shouldn't be an issue
