yes, they will clear no problem, but they'll look really silly, because you'll have about a 3/4" to a 1" lip sticking out of your fender.-chet

in a 7.5 a 30mm offset is exatly 1mm closer to the shock mount(very negligable)

I have 17x75. a 16x7 or 16x7.5 with maybe a 32mm or so offset should be fine. if you get a 16x7 get a 35mm offset(roughly)

it really depends on what your goal is. what are you going to be doing with the car? are you going to put coil overs on it? Z brakes? etc..

in a 7" wide rim, yes.

if you really like the style, get them, Im just telling you the lip will protrude past your fender a bit, I dont know if it will fit Z brakes because I dont know the design of the inside of the rim(taper), but for highway racing, you shouldnt need oversized brakes anyway.
