Wider would be nice, but I'd go with the Carrera wheels...much better look on the car IMO. You'll need a small (7mm) spacer perhaps in the rear, but I'm running 10s.

Yes, i would like to have them sit flush to fenders, what spacers size and brand u recommend?

Also what tires would be good ( i would drive the car only in summer)

IMHO, go OEM all the way.

I'm assuming that the Craigslist OEM wheels are available locally, and you can just drive to the seller and conduct the transaction.

I'm also assuming that the eBay wheels incur a shipping cost, which I can guarantee you is not cheap.

So, in the final analysis, excellent OEM wheels vs. Turbo replicas is a no brainer. At least it is for me.

Just sayin'............
