hey guys, just wanted some input.. would 16x8" with an offset of +50 fit into our cars? Im assuming no.. but can we add wheel adaptors?

just wondering..

the wheel probably would, but you would need to have 215 or 225 tyres on them. Probably better to go with around 35-40mm offset.

I agree with Brad, 50mm offset is just too high. While you hear about the benefits of increasing track width, I have never heard of anyone saying its a good idea to reduce it! (which is what you are doing by increasing the offset)

If it were me, with 8" width, I would be looking at 30-35mm offset


If they are really nice wheels, it could be worth getting 15-20mm spacers though.

I wouldn't say it's the best wheel there is.. but the price of it seems good..
