-27? Holy crap. You'll be fine on the inside (in fact, you'll have ~67mm more space than stock). However, you'll have to pull the fenders a ton to get those to fit.

If you meant +27, you'll still need to pull the fenders a good bit. Lower than about +35 is never going to fit without messing with the fenders, and on an 8in wide wheel, anything higher than about +40 (stock offset) will rub on the inside (assuming you run a 225 or maybe 235 tire).

Literally what it sounds like - pulling the fender so that it bulges out further. I don't know how the process works, but a body shop should know.

I really don't think you're going to get these to fit. -27 is just too nuts for this car.

a CIVIC can do it!!! lol so basically you are saying that the wheels will stick out more? would it rub against anything on the inside?

Can you possibly post pics of the wheels, so we can have a better idea of what you're talking about.

I can almost guarantee that the Civic needed fender modification. If it was an older Civic, maybe not, those had rather large fenderwells.

i know it's not the answer you want, but i'd keep looking for different wheels. screw the 5 in lip, you could get a second set of wheels for the price you are going to pay in mods to fit those on there. personally i think the 4 spoke wheels look pretty stupid, especially on a sentra. let the mustang guys have those, find yourself a nice set that fits your car.

there is no way you can get a crazy offset like that on a B13. You can with a custom wide body kit, but then the car looks bad. If you want deep dish wheels, get a 240.
