Moved to a seperate dedicated thread in the K11 section

You can fit upto 17's sensibly on a K11, this will still require arch and suspension modifications. A reasonable choice would be 14's / 15's to keep your handling good.

I'm sure some K11 nuts will expand on the above.

15's are your best bet, just make sure you pick a decent rim where the spokes go right to the edge as it gives the idea that the alloys are actually bigger than they are. Anythign bigger than 15's will cause rubbing with heavy loads and as above hinder performance, If you are going for a show car 16's are good, but 15's are better for allround driving. Means you can also lower the car more aswell

i have some 16's on mine as well as it lowered 30mm, to be fair they look great but if i have any one in the back they catch, if i take a corner to fast, they catch, ive also had to get the alloys grinded down (offset wasnt good enough), loads of problems at the mo with them mainly a bracket holding the rear bumper on which i dont think can be moved which is catching....... or can it? any one know?? if i were you mate put 15's on they'll look smart,
hope this helps
