Super quick test fit - 16x8 +15

Puttin' this in 'Photos' because there really isn't much useful info for you guys, just possible interesting photos.

I borrowed a SportMAX 501 in order to get an idea of what my fit would be like, thought I'd show you guys too:biggthumpup:
It's really hard to accurately show the poke, especially with no way to raise the wheel to ride height, but this gave me a pretty good idea. The pictures don't really show it very well though.

They poked a bit, but it was what I would call mild, for sure. Some photos show a shitload of poke, but that's just the angle.

Strut clearance with an 8" wheel...tiiiiiight!!
My +25 offset wheels might have needed spacers

Piece of wood to show actual poke. But it doesn't actually show actual poke, because it didn't want to stay straight and would only rest on the inside of the barrel. It doesn't even poke the width of the stick, in other words.

All in all, not very productive as far as information or measurements for you guys because I forgot to grab some tuner nuts to be able to tighten down the wheel and raise it into the wheel well to simulate the actual stance of the car. But it gave me a pretty good idea of what I can and can't fit.

that is going to look good! Post some pics when you get some tires and dump it.

The wheel isn't mine, I borrowed it from work so I could get an idea of clearances before I settle on a set. I'm not looking at SportMAXs
