16x8? 0 offset?
These are Rear Wheel Drive wheel specs, your EK4 will look funny, handle like shit & accelerate slower.
You'll end up buying new tires every 6 months due to extreme negative camber just to fit these wheel specs, aside from the fact that you'll need to modify/ extend/ extremely pump out your fenders.
Stick to 15x7, +35 offset max, if you want to enjoy how your EK4 should handle.
It is your daily driver after all, not the internet USDM kid's show car.
It would stick out like 3.5cm which will give hellaflush.
DO IT !

Don't listen to this dude,
Don't change your attitude cause one person tells you different.
It's your car do what you want, i've got 16x8 +0 513's for my EK but now i'm selling both EK and wheels as i'd rather buy a bike instead so i wish i could mount them on.
Don't expect good handling cause it's pretty much common sense, that said i run 16x8 +30 on my ITR, my handling is equally as good as before 205/45/16 toyo T1R's. It's a daily after all so it would be good as you ain't tracking it anyway, so why worry about what he says!
Goodluck and post pics soon :)
These pictures are 16x8 +15, so you have a fair idea of what +0 would look like, you would obviosly need camber arms but it's worth it in the end!

If its your daily run a more conservative offset. You will spend a lot more time and money trying to fit those.

hey guys i ended up getting some circuit 10s with a 30 offset.
thanks for all the help im happy with the 30offset im also using a 5mm spacer which
the wheels now sits pretty nice in my opinion.
the only problem was i cant get 195/50/16 in toyo r1r so i had to get 205/45/16
i will post some pictures up soon and see what you guys think?
