I have been looking for decent cheap, wide wheels. Would a 16x7.5 with a 45 offset fit? I can move some metal, but not alot.

+45mm offset might rub on suspension parts, it's hard to say. What size tires would you intend on using on them? I wouldn't go bigger than 225's.

I would like 225s or 35s. I can roll the wheel well. These things are 370 shipped so its a damn good price, but I guess I might have to try it to find out.

I didn't say you'd have a problem with the wheel well, I said it might rub on your suspension components. It's not a bad idea to roll the fenders anyway, but i'd be more concerned with it rubbing on the inside. If it's only a 7.5" wide rim I wouldn't go any bigger than 225's, the sidewall will stick out too much and "bow" out, and it will negatively effect the car's handling.

Go with a 40mm offset and you can run 225 40/16's all day.


I did :)
