Won't fit on fronts if your tire's sidewall is in line with the coil.

Test fit to see where the outermost part of the sidewall sits in relation to the coil. This location is based on ride height on a coilover suspension.

my wheels are 16x7.5 with 32mm offset, and i can fit maybe my pinky finger between the spokes and the caliper, this isnt the best pic, but it gives you an idea of the clearance

Where THE HELL did you find BuddyClub rims in those awesome widths? The offsets may be bad for you, but for my car they sound like they would work (i don't run coilovers). All they have available in the states for BuddyClubs is crappy offsets and crappy sizes. I want 16's bad.
