Default These are the same wheels that PES sells, right? Whoosh Addict has them on his silver
and they look beautiful. Very nice rim. Very nice indeed.

Default Looks great ... ET30 though? Good thing they're only 7.5" wide. : )
They don't look like ET30 BTW ... very nice wheel my friend.

Default The ET30 makes up for the 7.5"..... well......
so it's the same width as the stock wheel, but then it's moved outward 15mm, (little over 1/2"), so now the wheel looks wider.

Default Dats what I mean; if they were 8" or wider, you'd have at least another ¼" to deal with ...
... on top of the ½"+ the offset contributes. Rubbing would then be a given after suspension install. :-/

Default yeah, these stick out less than an 8" with ET35
compared to stock, these rims stick out...

width change + offset change
(8" ET35) = 1/4" + 10mm = 16.3mm
(7.5" ET30) = 0" + 15mm = 15mm
