Look at your wheels now and see if you can afford to stick them out another 1.75in.
I think at the very least, you'll need camber, fender rolling, and a lot of neg camber to fit them.

here is a pic of the 15in 002 with 0 offset on a hatch


How is comparing a civic and a sentra on the offset of a wheel gonna help? And look at the sidewall on that tire, it looks ugly.

I have never tried it so there is only one way to find out. Just see if you can get two of them and throw them on one side of the car. Take some pics, and a couple measurements to see what it would take to modify the fenders to fit, if any.

You gotta run a 195/50/15 streched.

Spacers push outwards, in a way makes your wheel fit like a lower offset wheel.

This wheel is 0 et the last thing you need to do is push it out further... if anything roll your fenders, because depending on the height of your car you could get some rubbing out the outer wall of the tire.

But zero offset is definitely not going to rub on the strut... wouldn't make any sense....if you are concerned about it just measure the backspacing of the wheel

I say just test fit them and see


My mistake. didn't see the 0 offset.

Reread the thread.

But I agree, just test fit. And personally woul use a 195 /50 / 15

Not trying to be mean but every car needs a different offset so comparing 2 different cars really does not help with fitment questions. I like how the wheels look but he needs to roll his fenders and use a tire that fits the wheel. The lip looks nice though.

Sorry, I ended up not going with it. I told the guy that I would likely have fitment issues like he did, and I didn't want to roll fenders or anything. They're on an SL2 Saturn, and he bought without researching. I thought about the 3" lip for a while, but I like the 1.5" lip plenty. I need more tire than anything under the fender wells, so going with a crazy offset wouldn't really be for me.

I may still see if the guy will at least let me test fit them and take a picture or two, just for GP.

Now I'm just going to get Lenso wheels and throw some MH slicks on them. Need to hook at the track!
