Default HELP*** fitment

Thanks for taking the time to look and help in this thread - New S2K owner as of Saturday and looking to purchase a set of rims - these here:

http://www.tirerack....=All&sort=Brand

I am currently stock and running the stock rims. (stock hieght etc)
Front tires are 215/55/16
Rear tires are 235/60/16
My current gap with these tires are about a hand size from the fender - about 1 inch gap.
Would like to keep my stock tires for these rims***

Will these rims which are 16x7.5 front and rear with both a 48mm offset fit okay with the tires listed above? Clearing the fender is my biggest concern? Will these rims stick out farther for a more aggressive stance? etc. Looking to order these today for my Spa Yellow-

Any input would be great - Thanks!

BTW according to the "wheel fitment" in this forum section they look as if they will fit fine with the width, just having problems with the height if the tire. Thnx

First off why do you want to run those tire sizes. They are 1/3" taller than stock and nobody makes any good handling tires in those sizes. You would be much better off with the 205/55R16 and 225/50R16. With those sizes you should not have any issues with the 48mm offset.
If I can help let me know.
