    The stock sedan offset is +45 mm while that for the P5 is +50mm. When going to larger diameter, wider rim wheels and wider section tires, it's always a good idea to stay as close to the stock offset as possible to avoid clearance problems.

    Since you mention your interest in 16" wheels, if you have the sedan I can recommend my setup as one where you will have absolutely no fitment problems. I'm running 16" x 7" wide wheels with +42 mm offset and 205/45 tires. With this combo, I have no interference problems and far better handling than stock.

    If you have a P5, you may require a wheel with more than a +42 mm offset. Check with a P5 owner to find out for sure.
