Default Will these XXRs fit my EK Sedan 16x7 front 16x8 rear?

Wondering if some XXRs will fit my car before I make a 2 hour drive and trade

My car is a 2000 EK Sedan
Ground Control coilovers
Front Camber Arms
Rear Camber Arms
LCA Arms

XXRs
Front Specs
16x7 15 offset
215/50/16 tire

Rear Specs
16x8 0 offset
205/55/16 tire

Will they fit as they sit with no fender roll or camber change or would I need to negativey camber and roll my fenders

Nope,16x7 +25 would fit with rolling the fender!!! And why would you put a bigger tire on the back of a fwd car??

you're gonna have a hard time fitting the rear, as it will hit the trailing arm.

They would fit but with negative camber and a 205 40 16 tire. You should look into a 15x7.5 wheel. I have rota cro1 wheels with 195 50 15 tire and they sit flush on my ek sedan

falso, +0 will not hit the trailing arm.

but OP i can tell you those tire sizes are going to look awkward as ****.

maybe a 205/45 front and 215/45 rear to keep them looking pretty close front to rear as far as sidewall angle and height. and at that the fronts will have no stretch but a little bit of bag. but i still think those rim sizes are going to look funky. the fronts will fit no problem, but the rear will fit like an effective 16x7 -13. might end up needing spacers in the front and a some camber in the rear to even things out poke-wise and make it look copacetic as you look down the side of the car. and still remember this is with no stretch so making your fenders happy at this point may get interesting.

my personal rule of thumb is avoid 16" wheels less than 8" unless you want it too look normal and your car can fit it like normal. the tire sizes just aren't there to play with.

Quick answer, no. Especially with those balloon tires.

Absolutely 100% incorrect, not going to even be close to hitting the trailing arm
