Default 16x8 wheels-What I need to do to make it fit my Ek hatch?

I just got some xxr 521 16x8. What do I need to do to it to make it fit my car? My car is dropped about 3.5-5inches off the ground.

How do I know? What's the offset? Not really knowing much about this "trend" I would say rolled fenders and extreme camber are in your future.

Maybe look into what needs to be done BEFORE you get the wide *** rims?

WTF is camby!?
I swear this site is getting worse every day.

OP, your going to need to put the wheels on your car and see where the problems are.

My guess is rolled fenders are a must. +20 is a very agreesive offset, but still doable. Also, with the amount of drop you have, you may not have enough camber for them to clear.

Report posts if you see something wrong in threads.. that's what we are here for.

I'm going to lock this because I think this is headed no where, real fast.. Oh and I don't believe in this whole ''hype''

Use the search engine, it has been covered.. several times.
