Default Anyone having issues running a 7.5" wheel with a 38mm offset? I really want these!!!

I have a 94 EG and its lowered and currently I am running a 17" wheel, 7" wide with a 40mm offset. These wheels I found Are a 17" wheel that are 7.5" wide with a 38mm offset. The new wheel will stick out an extra 8mm. Is anyone running this size of wheel? Any issues? Could you post a pic if you do have that size thanks?

My GF has 18x7.5" +42 Racing Hart C5's on her 4dr(yes, I know WAAAY too big), and car is dropped about 1" or so. She only rubs the fender liner occasionally when doing U-turns in intersections. Tires are ging to be your main concern. We have a 215/35/18 tire on hers.

Those are 17's??? Looks like 16" or so... must be the pic.

but, yeah, just reuse the tires. 205's will fit fine even on an 8" wide wheel.
