here's an idea, if he's your buddy, why not go to his house and put them on and see how they fit.. and then come back and tell usif they do or not.

I already tried. Would not clear the calipers. That's why I ask. I know that I need spacers to make it work. But I just want to know how thick and will the wheels sticking beyond the fender.

You too are an idiot. You would need a minimum of 15 mm spacers and extended studs, like i said before.

u are correct. i feel like an *** now.

yes we have a smaller offset which means that where the wheel mounts is closer to the center of the wheel. so if there is a bigger offset wheel u have to run, u need to space your hub out further so they will clear. then only thing about this that is somewhat a problem is that when u space your wheel out further, u put more stress on the lugs and the hub. 15mm is also almost 5/8ths of an inch so that is a pretty good amount

Don't forget if you run a 15MM spacer are you going to have enough room for the tires to fit without huge cutting ??
