wheels with +35 offset on EG

will 16" wheels with a +35 offset have any problems fitting into an EG hatch? Will I have to roll the fenders etc?

How wide are they? If they are only 6~6.5 inches wide you should be ok but it will be close.

Re: (simpleEdwin)

for 16x7 you want to run 40~42 offset. Its only 5mm difference so they probably would still look ok but you may have rubbing issues and you will definitely have issues if your sporting 215 or wider tires.

if you are using a 16x7 rim with a 205/45/16 tire and you are lowered 1-2" you will have rubbing issues at full lock or turning into a driveway (turning wheels slightly half turn) as you go up the bank.

stick with +45 if you can. and you'll be fine.
