Can my ride fit 18'inch Rims? Anyone selling?

Hi to all braders here. Once again I need ur valuable advise n tips.
I am driving a 318iS currently on original 16inch rims and was thinking of the following stuff;


1) Can my ride fit 18inch rims?...Wat type of rims(brand) can fit into my ride?

2) I'm thinking of getting the 8J or 8.5J..Is it feasible in my ride? and i'm not into staggered setup. Just all round normal setup of either 8J or 8.5J so tyre rotation would be easy.

3) Do i need to roll over my arches? n where to sent it to roll n roughly how much would it cost?

4) Anyone selling 18'inch rims here? Tink Hammann and ACS out of the question as they are heavy rims which my ride cant carry and would ofset my car performance )

5) Anyone selling 2nd hand Bilstein suspension?

6) Where do u recommend me to do the aboves?

If my ride cant fit 18inch rims then bo pian got to settle for 17inch ( hmmm.

Need all the advice on this. Thanx to all braders that can give inputs.

Ah_Li ..hmm thanx for the advise..well i'm still thinking. Wat i want to do wif my car is,
1) maybe change rims
2) upgrade my I.C.E
3) Respray..now in red colour.
4) Change pedals,gear knob,handbrake knob n some other cosmetic...

Not really into modding the car up...at most also find a good exhaust like SS, Remus.. coz i still have a Superbike Suzuki 1000cc which i ride everyday.
