    15x7, ET16. Wil this fit my NA8C?

    Hey guys

    As per title, Im eyeing a set of wheels but the specs are 15x7 with offset of +16 all around.

    Just wondering whether this will fit or whether rolled guards will be needed or somewhat?

    Also, what size tyres should I be going for? I dont want to go stretched or anything silly like that but would like a meaty sidewall if possible

    Cheers

    Ill throw this out there.... a few years back I had 15x7 +10 and they fit with 195/50 tire and rolled fenders w/ a bit of a pull. I was also pretty low ride height. So your +16 would need a bit more pull; shouldn't need flares though. I think. Don't quote me, I'm not an offset guru like some others.

    Rolled fenders, maybe not even pulled or barely pulled, and you'll be fine.

    Rust is correct. You will want to roll the fenders.
