will 20 mm offset rub? 16x7

 

even if it doesn't, it is going to raise hell with the front end geometry...

it's probably a good idea to keep the center of the contact patch somewhat aligned with the centerline of the front wheel bearings.

side effects will include accelerated FW bearing wear, and hyper-sensitivity to road camber

the stock wheels are +48 mm

I'm running 15x7 +38 and that car is darty, to put it mildly...

try this for a visualization of what I'm on about

if you're even a hint lowered that offset will without a doubt rub. not only will it rub but you're poking out past the oem arch by about 1/2"

 

the pokin out is good . i like !!!! the wheel bearings i could give a ***** about . i'm just wondering if it'll rub lol

i thought oem was 42mm?

hehehe well then these will poke for sure. you're gonna be popping off arches on bumps but a little double stick tape and/or some dremelling will help keep them on.

most of the oem 7" wide wheels are et48.
