hey wafulz- you going to carry your baby in your ride? if so, keep it stock or just run swifts and use more conservative offset.

you'll have to drop the car considerably to make that look right which means your suspension will have very limited stroke..which means you need very firm damping..which means not good for your newborn's neck and head.

just letting you know what to watch out for.

it will definitely have poke, for sure with the 8".

im on ET40 16x7 with 5mm spacers on the rear. it's flush front and rear without fender roll or any rubbing. (swifts and -1.5 camber on front)

add another 10mm for that 8" width...that's going to poke unless you drop significantly for a near hellaflush look, i suppose.

You're gonna need smaller tires too. I suggest no spacers with that offset. Its gonna poke no matter what at 8" width.

Heres a website I found if you not sure how or which tires to get. Its all just wheel and tire size on all kinds of different cars.

There are many examples of this sizing aside from the pictures I'm about to post, just have to be crazy enough to spend the hours of time looking for them. Anyways, here:

16x8 +38 205/45




16x8 +0 185/55




16x8 +20 205/45




(will take down pictures at owners request, of course)
