if the rim widths are the same then go +60 or something and they should fit no problem.

A plus 60 offset has less room for brake clearance. The lower the number the more the wheel goest toward the fender so more brake clearance.

I had to go up in offset because the face wouldnt clear the brake body of Rotora 6 piston kit. I think it depends on the face you order for the wheel. I ordered a high clearance face for my volks which made me go up in offset. If I didnt I could of had like a 2.5-3 inch lip in the front.
