Default So confused about offset.. XXR 522 wheels on eg hatch?

so I wanna buy XXR 522 wheels from someone but will they fit right?

they are 15x8
zero offset

i currently run rota track rs with a +42 offset
they look like shxt on my hatch for some reason.
meaning the bad type of camber.

i dont want an explanation of offset because its so confusing rofl i just wanna know if they will fit right to my car.

Those won't fit at all, without heavy modifications.

With proper sized tires, you're looking at 15x7 +35's if you haven't modified the body to increase wheel/tire clearance. If you have modified the body, then you could get away with 15x8 +35's.

nothin lower than 15. maybe 10 but now your pushing it. go check out the low offset thread. I ran 16x8 0 offset and paid for it with a fender. I just painted my car a few months ago and i chewed up a fender within weeks of having the 0 offset. those wheels are long gone now. if you dont know what your doing your either gonna roll around lookin stupid, or mess up your fenders, and look stupid..lol

0 offset =

like someone stated above. unless youve done fender rolling and or pulling you want to go with between +32 and +40 depending on the width of the wheel.
