They'll fit... they'll just look terribly sunken in. OEM rays will look better then those.

The only way those will stick out is through the opposite side of your car. If you are trying to make a cave under your fender so you can hide from the rain then those offsets are perfect.

Those offsets are very weak, for both coupes and a sedan. Not to mention so are the widths.

I would look for different wheels.

But if you're hell bent on running those with spacers, then 38mm all around and that's the biggest spacer that Ichiba makes. Your car will pay for it down the road though, when your hub bearings start to fail.

38mm is a MASSIVE spacer.

From reading throughout the forum about spacer use and some very good information that I received from Blaine, I would not run a spacer that is any bigger then 20mm for any long extended period of time.

I would seriously wait and buy rims that have better offsets. If you aren't into the popular really aggressive offset style then I would at least look around ~+15 offsets f/r.

wait and buy a set of Volks off THIS forum. I personally bought a nice set off of here, but the deal was done locally. I feel better this way.
