Its looks like I'll get major fender rubbing ?? Anybody done this ??

Looking down the side of the car, the wheels are alsmots vertical with the top of the guard.

(I've got an oppertunity to get a set cheap!)

You don't mention the size. But, 17" or 18" w/ET35 will fit fine.

Default Depends....

I have BBS VZ, 18x8 with ET37 and 235/40-18 tires with very, very minor rubbing when I am turning sharply and going up an incline.

Default A couple of the guys here Agravic has these wheels and lowered w/ H&R c/o's

he had to trim the wheel liner and a portion of the fender lip to keep it from rubbing.
