    Are they slipstreams?

    My guess is you are gonna need to roll or trim the rear and or maybe the front fenders. 215/40 is small for the car, I'd suggest a 45 series.

      The stretch guys use that tire on a 9" wide... so you should be fine with an 8.

          With rolled fenders it'll fit easily.

            I personally run a 225/45/16 hankook ventus rs2 on 16x7s. I have no rub issues, but my offset is greater, et27 i believe.

              I run 225/40-16's on a 16x8 et20 with no issues at all.

              I think a smaller tire with a slightly more aggressive offset will be fine.

                yes they will fit with minimal rolling. im running 16x8 et0 with 215-40s. im a lot lower than IE3's. i had to roll a good amount but with et15...not too much
