Seen these wheels and had to buy them. Cosmis S1 9.5x18 with 15mm offset.
They will be a pain to fit but I am going to get it done right, with the arches cut out, extended and welded back wider. I know it is a lot of messing about and will cost a few pounds, but I want these wheels and I want them to fit right, with 255 wide tyres to protect the wheels and have the correct ratio's and rolling radious etc. Dont want any arch rubbing or problems from being lowered.

Wheels will be here on Monday and I will chat to the bodyshop once I have the wheels to test fit. Shall look forward to see how they will look and how the 6 will look with wider arches

WOW!!!! This sounds very interesting. Try and get the body shop to take some pics or a film of the process to widen the arches?

The 6 looks sporty enough with 225's never mind 255's

wow can not wait to see the final result! I thought I was nuts going for 19s needing the arches rolling. This is a whole other level nuts!

Gotta love the concave!
