Default fitment help

so i just have a couple quick questions about rim and tire size for my 1996 318ti.

first off this is my first ti and i am looking to get some awesome fitment out of it. i have been looking for a set of style 5's for the car and i want them to be as wide as possible!! i was also just looking at a set or rokkor coilovers (does anyone know how low they go?) with the coilovers is there anything else i am going to have to do to the car such as support plates or anything or will they bolt right up?

this is basically the kind of look im going for so let me know what you think...

Search would give the same to this post. Style 5s require taking apart to be widened and in such low offset, you require fender rolling and stretched tires. Go search on bimmerforums.

The actual name for style 5's is "Cross Spoke Composite 5." Try searching for that at a site that sells BMW wheels, e.g. BMWWheels.com. You might have to use google and limit the search to a specific site via the "advanced search."

They look like 18s to me and I believe they are OZ mitos.

Edit- According to felgen-garage they are 18x9.5 front and 18x11 rear with some serious stetch.
