No chance. The offset is way too low.

Agreed. Not happening without major changes to fenders and camber. Not worth it.

theres absolutely no way you can have these wheels fit without extensive fender modifications... you can try to flare the fenders, trim them, max out the negative camber, and run super stretched tires and you will still probably have a hard time clearing the fenders (depending on how low you are)

Remember that 1 degree of camber accounts for 11 more MM of offset for you to fit under there! Not sure how a 9.5" barrel does in the rear, but I think with some modification that will look nice on your car.

roll the rear fenders flush, roll and do a slight pull on the fronts, run -1.5 camber up front, -3 in the back, and OEM AP2 tire sizes are your set
