sportmax xxr 513

Anyone running this 15 x 8 rim?
I think it has a zero offset.
I need to contact the seller on Craig's List.

i put the said wheels onto my 04 MCS and had major rubbing issues even with 195/50R15 tires. It rubbed so hard that all the plastic oem fender flares snapped off a couple of the clips that hold them into place. The zero offset is absolutely wrong. The fitment pokes out waaaaay too much (about an inch too much) i was trying to go for the "poked/stretched" old-school british look but to no avail.
My follow-up question now is: whats the proper off-set I need for an 04 MCS if i wanted to run 15x8 xxr 002? --any wheel fitment pros care to drop knowledge?

Hello! I am new to this site. I am going to purchase a set of the XXR Wheels in 15x8. I want to lower the mini apox an inch or so. Can I trim the fenders if need be to cure any rubbing? I am planning on running 195/50/15s. Any hints on offsets that I should be running?? Help!!! Going to purchase soon...

i think et20 would be better with at least -2 camber all around.
