Will 15x8 wheels fit?

Hi, i'm eyeing a set of wedsports 15x8 wheels but i'm not really sure if it will fit the car. What offset should i use? I'm thinking about running 215/45 (or 50)-15 tires.

from wat i can see on my 15x7 +40mm, i think you can fit a 15x8
if your tires are 195 width summer or 205 or 215 in all-season.

summer tires have bold shoulders and are usually wider than advertised
expecially when mounted on wider wheels.

As far as offset, i'd say +43 to 45mm range. the rear will most-likely
fit even with +38mm. this is just estimation so do it at your risk.

jim@tirerack is on a distinguished road
With the 15X8 wheel I think you are going to have some rubbing issues. The 195/50R15 doesn't even fit a 15X8 wheel.

With an 8" wheel, the nominal offset is 36-mm to fit on the car without touching the shock strut (I'm prety sure it will rub your fender well)...you might be able to get away with a maximum of 40-mm offset without touching the shock strut to give a little extra room for the fender.

An 8" wheel with completely FUBAR the suspension geometry and FUBAR your handeling.

Three words - "Don't do it!"
