work rims

[LEGnycTA]

hey all, i have a stock 2000 be. i came across these rims on craigslist. i was just wondering if they will fit without rubbing and if i decided to drop the car at a later date will i have any issues? Also would i have to buy new lug nuts to accomodate larger rims. I'm a complete newb when it comes to rims, offsets and other rim related info. thanks.

They'll fit. You may need "tuner style" lugs to accommodate as the wheels are mounted closer to the hub. You'd use the same lugs, just longer ones.

If you lower you probably won't rub unless you have stupidly wide tires or are seriously slammed. Nice wheels.

First, check the bolt pattern, that looks like 5x114. The 5x100 Works don't cut into the center barrel like that.

I run Splinedrives or other tuner lugs on mine; bigger lugs like Rays work too, but you can easily scuff the wheel. Run a splined lug and you'll be golden (if they're 5x100). You'll be rolling your fenders a bit, too. BE's are bigger, but the rear may take some work if you lower it.
