    depends on the offset, if you have wheels with the correct offset it won't rub. if you have the wrong offset then you're going to run into trouble.

    as sharpie said, you'll need to check the offset... you need ET15-18 i believe!

    find out what offset your wheels are then work out what spacers you have to add to them to make them the correct offset.

    no you didn't - but you're not the only one with incorrect advice/unhelpful posts/spamming in this thread.

    i was highlighting my point. now if you have any more to say you can take it up through pm. if you read my link and understood why offset makes the difference then you will see why your comment is redundant.
