hey guys,
quick question, would the specs of the wheels 16x8 +33 offsets fit an ek hatch?
would anyone know about the clearance it would have?
obviously with the wide wheel setup, it's recommended to roll the guards too..
mind, front n rear camber kits will be installed later down track =)
thanks!

Depends on the offset I guess
The fronts of Boy180's stick out about 5-6mm
rears sit in about 5-6mm

16x8 +35 offset
205/14/16 tyres
Slightly less camber than espionage at the moment
Installing Buddy Club front and rear camber kits in the coming weeks and will try to minimse camber at all 4 corners
Guards rolled and coilovers set quite low and only get a tiny bit of scrub on the very rare occasion I hit a sudden dip in the road on the fronts. Nothing major at all though.
