16x8 with +0 offset?

i am planning on purchasing xxr rims size 16x8 with 185/55/16 tires. i was wondering if the rims, because they are +0 offset, will they fit on the mcs or will i need to purchase wheel spacers?

Why would you need spacers? That'll just make them stick out further.

IMO 8" wide wheels with a 0 offset will look pretty stupid. The wheels should also be available in +15, Id get those instead.

Heres my car on 15x8 +15

I'll tell you that the xxr's are great rims. If you're about stock height, get either 45 or 50 profile. 40's are too skinny lol.

45 or 50 don't relate to width they refer to height

^^^They're XXR 501s. I payed like $400 for the set. Only a temporary setup on my car while I wait for something better. I'm getting ready to sell these (without tires) for around $300.

Actually now that i think of it, if you can afford these, i'd recommend them over the xxrs. But XXR's are great for the price if you don't want to spend $1,000+ on just rims :-P.

I've ordered my set, should be coming in any day!

I'm trying to get the exact look for my mini and I was wondering about the size of tires.
How much did you lower your car?
Does it ever rub your fenders driving on freeway?
