There are guys runnin more agressive than that. U'll just need to pull the front fenders to the max and pull the rear out a little and they will fit with alot of camber on a stock body.

Dude, I don't think that's even gonna be close.

You'd want a widebody to fit that, imo...

If you try it, best of luck, but be aware that no matter *how* ridiculous the size/offset wheels you ask about, you *will* get responses that say it'll fit with a little work!

Who cares about what others have to say, i just told him they would fit with mods and he wants to go that route.

I noticed you have alot of HP. What size tire were you planning on running on that rim and how low is you car? These are all questions that will give us an idea of how easy/hard they are going to be to fit on stock fenders. Most of the guys running this size rim on stock rolled and flaired fenders have streached tires and at least -4 camber. Thats not going to be great for traction on a 500+ HP car.

215 to 225 range, if you get the asm or shine rear fender flairs you could make a 255-275 work in the rear.

*ANYTHING* will fit, "with mods".

Looks like a lot of NEEDLESS trouble to me.

Why not just get wheels that don't stick out beyond the bodywork by a couple of inches?!

Not helpful to encourage the uninitiated to go with fitments that are going to require a lot of work.
