Hi guys, I am a bit bored with the OEM rims, so I am looking for some light weight rims like this one below.

However, I am not sure is this rim going to fit on my car, can someone please let me know what is the widest possible for my car if I don't modify the fender and what should I choose for my offset? I don't mind to change a bit of the chamber.

Please let me know, thank you.

My car is a NB8B with lower springs (KINGS SPRING)

They will fit given enough negative camber, but you can still see them poke out looking straight down from the top of the guards. I used to run that same width and offset and changed to a +36 so it's not borderline illegal. As an added bonus the car seems to stay cleaner now!

you're gonna need a bit of camber and some skinny tyres.

if you roll the rear guards then they'll tuck in no worries.

is skinny tyres mean thin rubber?

No they mean skinnier width tyres.

But 15x8 +25 should fit a 205/50R15 tyre with only a roll.

What is a roll?

guard roll. as in rolling or bending the inner lip of the wheel arch upwards to prevent tyre damage.

those rims are a sexy piece of kit. bit too pricey for me though. but sexy all the same.

if I don't want to roll the guard can I adjust the camber instead?

You need to roll your guards.
It's not something you can see from the outside, if it's done properly you never know.
Should only cost about $200.

Super easy dude, borrow a mates guard roller and like Emily said; nobody will ever know.

Thanks guys, I will give it a try, by the way who can provide roll guard service?

Just google it in your area or buy one off eBay.
