Default +45mm offset fit under Del Sol

I am looking at sqeezin some 15x8 4x100 +42/+45mm offset wheels under my 93 del sol

will this work?

will i have to get special tires?

or roll the fenders?

and what offset for this size wheel I should use for them to fit perfect

thanks in advance for any info leading to perfect fitment of these wheels

You are correct pimp, I guess the only way i could get these wheels to fit without rubbing the inner wall, would be to have an offset of 100+mm

The widest wheel recommended on a del sol is 7.5in i believe; and its not too smart/practicle to run any thing over a 16inch wheel anyway.

I guess its ultimately up to the comsumer reguardless.

No, a fender roller is to give you clearance on the outside of the tire so it doesnt rub.

Del Sols don't have struts.

It's the trailing arm clearance in the rear you have to worry about mainly. You'd have to run spacers to give a 15x8" +45mm enough space under there depending on the tire, and you'd definitely need to roll the fenders (no getting around that with any 15x8).
