Dpends on the offset. What's the offset? Needs to be in the +53 range.

yeah needs to have a real high offset, tho i wouldnt lower it...

8.5 with a 53 offset Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 17mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 21mm
