Fitment for aftermarket wheels on 2011/12 saloon?
What are people running and what's the consensus? I'd probably look to stay on 18's I think and would be interested to know if I should stay 8.5J or go 9J?
If going 9J, what sort of offset would I be looking for? What sort of offset are people running on 8.5J? I know OEM is ET55.

Most 9.5j are in the mid to late 30et's but these are usually only needed on high power rwd cars. Unless the wheels are lighter (unlikley) you will loose performance and handing. With wider wheels
