They don't make the 42 offset anymore? Darnit! I was going to get a 2nd set of kosi rims. If that is the case then I would also like to know if they fit.

depending on what tire you run and what your ride ht is, i think they CAN fit...

the PO.com database says "gray area, risk rubbing outside of wheel wells"

You need to tell us how wide the wheels are.

I have 16x7.5" K-1s with the +42mm offset. And they rubbed like a **** on the front fenders until I put much stiffer Springs up front. (They never rubbed on the street, just at autoX). So I would say that +38mm is probably a no-go regardless of width.

i also checked the tire calculator and stock is 205/50 and if i put the 205/50 on 15's its an overall smaller diameter which might help the rubbing issue but not sure.
