    Umm, the outer rim of those will stick out about an inch and a half more compared to the old ones.

    New wheel = 1.5 inches wider, so with the same offset it would stick out 0.75 inches more plus the difference in offset (20 mm). so 19 mm + 20 mm = 39 mm = about 1.5 in

    Re: Wheel Offsets

    Not going to happen without some major fender work... I am running 15x7 +28mm ET, and had to roll my rear fenders to avoid rubbing (car would not move when lowered because fenders hit tires so bad)

    it can be done I am sure, but not without pulling the rear fenders some, and possibly doing something to the fronts as well.

    Re: Wheel Offsets

    I am running 15x8 at a -35mm offset with 225/45/15 tires. Technically the fenders need to be rolled ever so lightly. but with the stiff susspension and my current drop I dont have to.

    Re: Wheel Offsets

    Thanks for all your answers guys. My friend let me try on his sport max 501 wheels. 16x8 +15 on 205/40/16 tires. Fronts clear okay, but need a minor roll since i have camber and the back probally have to be cut or pulled. Other than that, I think i can pull off something around +15 offset

    Ill post pics when ill upload them.

    Re: Wheel Offsets

    i had a +38 in 205/40/17 on the car and it just rubbed a lil under heavy breaking. just needed some stiffer suspension and it would have been fixed... let me find some pics...








    Importordomestic, wut suspension are you running?

    i think a 7.5 wide wheel would be the max you could with out having to pull the fenders, you would just have to roll them.
