16 x 8 ET38 - will it rub?

Hi all,

I've searched all over and didn't find an answer - at least a clear one...

I have a 2006 TL and am getting a winter tire setup for damn cheap (Pirelli Snow's and rims for $300!!! One season used - from reliable source).

Only issue is the the offset is less than stock. Any potential issues with rubbing? Looks like it's only a 7 MM difference, but don't know if that will cause an issue...

Thanks,

Deep

No dude +38 Offset (See the ET38 in my subject) The 215/60-16 referred to the 16" rim size! :-)

I'm only lowering them because they are for winter and I have a chance to buy a complete set with rims for $300, which is a steal for ANY tires! Normally, these pirelli shows on rims will run you about $1100.

8" +38mm is somewhat conservative.

No I have the stock TL Premium brakes.
