Using the Offset calculator in the sticky, I get

"The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 21mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT in towards the body by 9mm"

Not too sure what this means, it's just under 1 centimeter INSIDE the fender, would that mean if I want to get coilovers, it would be too close and it would hit?

I don't want it to look stupid by the rims beeing inside the fender too much, these rims are my friends, and are on a FWD, they have Toyo T1-S tires, for a damn good price, he is trying to convince me to buy, but I want to make sure it will work.

I would be getting Tein HA suspension.

Thanks,

Jay

I wouldnt use such a high fwd offset like +55:eek: The stock wheels are sunken in enough at +40. It will look really sunken in and probably wont even clear the coilovers. Is it even the right bolt pattern 4x114.3 or 5x114.3?

4x114.3 yeah. Thanks, I don't think they will work either.

read it, it means the inner lip will be almost a full inch closer(or INSIDE) the front strut, thanks for checking the offset calc though. it wont fit properly, and would look hideous.-chet
