Hi all, I am planning on buying a set of wheels size 15"x8" w/+0 offset and was wondering if anyone on here is running this setup for your EG or EK? I need to know if it will fit without having any problems/rubbin. My car's fenders have been rolled before so that 17" rims can fit while car is slammed. Please any suggestions or advice would help. Thanks in advance.

i doubt that offset and width will worth w/out fender flares

that setup will be wider than a stock setup by ~3.5" per side. wider as in track width not wheel width.

im guessing that will stick out beyond the fender by a considerable amount so even with rolled fenders its very likely you will rub very very often.
ninja edit: unless of course you maintain a stock ride height with substantial spring rates so you wont compress more than fender gap. and even then you may still rub with wheels turned.

what if you ran 195-45-15 tires, would it still be rub you think?

i run 15x9's with a 12mm offset, and believe you me that you will have clearance issues without major fender mods.
