    Need help with wheels.

    I bought some wheels for a good price but not sure how well they will fit.
    Wheels are 16X8 25 offset with 205/50 tires. Im using ST springs according to the website they give 2.4 inch drop. Will these fit alright or will I need to roll fenders and use spacers?

      at et25, they will be very close to the front strut assembly. I would recommend a 5 or 10mm spacer at least in the front. Out back you'll clear just fine.

        My car is running 8" wide ET25 wheels with a 215 tire in the front. No spacer, no problem. ;)

              Not saying it won't clear guys. I'm saying its close to the strut. Is it hitting? No. But I would still recommend a 5-10mm spacer not only for more room but for a better overall stance.
