do you thikn that clearance wise as far as the brakes are concerned that they would fit. im not going to be daily driving these, so if they stick out a bit i dont mind, plus my ride height isnt too low so rubbing would be minimal

ic, why not just save yourself the hassle and get some slips? i mean, i know it's cliche and played out, but if it's a track car, who cares right?

but, i think u may be able to pull it off if you do some calculating, if the offset is 0, you've got 4" either way of just straight up rim. i'm not saying it can't be done without spacers, but as a bolt on affair, i don't really see it happening, but an 8" wide wheel does so dope

off topic, that bodykit = pure rice even if it was ment for "aerodynamics" (snickers) or "weight saving" they coulve done alot better oh well, its an ep3 so its not that much of a loss

why would you need spacers for a "0" offset?
you would need spacers for something like a +50 offset

as long as he is not too low it should work fine.....they just need to be able to clear the fender.....but for daily driving i wouldn't be good, probably be hastled by the cops for having your wheels stick out beyond the fenders
