Im not an expert but i think if you could get the extra .5" of spacing somehow like with a spacer they would work...i really like those. they would be so sweet on ure car

no you guys got this backwards. offset is measured in millimeters. backspacing is measured in inches. offset is the location of the mounting hub in relation to the center of the wheel. backspacing is the same but measures from the inside lip of the rim to the mounting hub.

with a 0 mm offset that rim is going to stick way out. spacers will make it stick out even more.

yeah and dont underestimate certain offsets. some people use a 30 mm and think it will be okay...it wont. use at least a 43.
