If you go further than ET 45 they wheels will stick out over the wings / fenders and they will have to be rolled or extended. Of course, someone is going to chime in and say they fit. Buyer beware.

You need to get the ET as close to the factory as possible, thats about ET 52.5.

I did a ton of research before I bought my wheels

Front: 7ET55
Rear: 9ET50

Does that mean the rear offsets are bang on and the front would fit as well? What would the stance be on these rims? Would the rim/tires come out to being close to flush with the fenders? Or do I need spacers for the fronts? Thanks.

EDIT: Looks like they should fit. But can I put a small spacer out front to push them out a little so they sit a bit more flush with the fenders? Will this cause rubbing issues?

Spacer will DECREASE the ET, not increase. So, if they are et 40, a 5mm spacer will only decrease it to et 35, not increase to et 45.

The factory front and rear were about et 52.5 IIRC. You can put in a 4-5mm spacer in the front to reduce the offset.

They should fit, yes.

Thanks! I'd like an aggressive stance on all four corners without rolling fenders or rubbing when turning the wheel. So I think I'm good to go.

if that is what you want, then you will have to get some smaller 5mm spacers and see if they will do what you need them to do. go too far and you will have rubbing.

Good luck

Thanks Southampton.....I'll probably go with no spacers to see how they sit. If it's tucked too far in, I will try a small 5mm spacer up front and leave the backs alone.
