    It depends on the offset of the wheel, you might need to get your fenders rolled and a good camber kit is always recommended.

    There's a few threads here explaining in detail how to run wide wheels on our cars. There was also a handling magazine that used our car as a platform and they ran 17x8 on it. I don't know what the offset was though.

              These are the rims i want.



              the problem with them is if i get the in a 7" width they lose the second part of the lip and the surface around the "rivets i guess" gets painted!

                      It all depends on the offset.
                      You've only referred to the offset as "low".
                      How low are you talking?
                      +30? +20? 0?

                          i think the 8in wheels in a lot better. and you get a bigger contact patch.

                            it doesnt say on the site

                            http://www.xxrwheels.com/sportmax_002.shtml

                            the low et is labeled as part of the name.

                            all the site says is the the 16x8 has a 3.5in lip for everything except the silver which i dont care about.

                            should i just get them and do what i have to do to make them fit? (ei. rolling fenders and getting spacers)

                              im running 7.5 18" rims with a +40 offset, for some reason only the passenger side wheel rubs like hell whenever i make a left turn.

                              don't know if this is happening for others, mind you i do have about a 3.5" drop
