Default Tire Clearance Question

I'm planing on droping some wider wheels on my Rex in the bulk of work i've started to do to it, i'm basicly wondering if anyone has had any fitment issues with the following...

Running around 225/50/R16 (or a close variant) on...
16" x 7.5 w/ 32offset Also i was wondering about wheels that are 16" x 8 w/ 38offset (these i have a feeling will rub the hell out of the inner portions.)

Im just wondering if anyone has run this setup and required spacers of any sort, if it will require fender modification/flaring, also any issues it might have with the vehicled lowered. Trying to avoid having it rub at all.

Tx for any comments

It would probibly fit but the tires would stick out and look retarted. But if you are using the set as a race set only who cares. Also to clear a 50 hight you would likely have to raise the car, but see the above statement.


I am running a 215 40R 16 and had to raise the car a little I will post pics soon.

I don't own a digital camera so I will take pics and when I take it in to get devoloped I will have them put it on a CD in digital format.

The downside is it take 7 days to get the CD.
