Default EP Wheel Offset help!!!!!!

I'm considering getting some 16X8's with no offset (so the website says). Will they fit on my 05 EP? I'm thinking they'll rub, any info?

They'll rub. It's been done, but yes they'll rub.

Another thing that will determine the fit is the tires you run and the amount of camber you're willing to run.

The fender well. Without any fender work the wheel sticks out about an inch and a quarter or so lol.

I should be able to drop my car so the tires sit right below the fenders and be fine right?

Is your car stock? as far as suspension stuff goes? if so yes you will rub. You will need to get your fenders rolled/pulled, possibly fender flares. And most definitely need to stretch your tires.

Not unless you do some serious rolling and pulling of the fenders. If you were to just mount the wheels and drop your car you will not be able to tuck the wheels at all, and you would need to get stretched tires and camber like this /---\. I'll try and find a better pick of how much the wheels stick out but here's some pics before any fender work where you can kinda tell. Notice how much they stick out. Also you should check out the aggressive wheel thread.
