it'll fit, but it wont be nice.

and will really depend on the tyre that you fit to it.

It'll fit with a bit of guard rolling and camber ... depending on tyre size and height.

Cheers Guys, i was thinking a pair of 205 45 16 tyres. I do have a lovely set of gaz coilovers on the car so it can go up or down as need be but i also dont want the thing looking like its on stilts.

It'll fit fine with those tyres. I have 16x8 -1 with a 205/45.

agree with RGnet.

I also have 16x8 -4 fitted and it needs 2.5 deg camber on the front and more on the rear to fit a -4 but if you look at mine and picture the wheels set 29mm further IN, then thats how yours will sit......It will will be easy fit !

These are a set of XXR 521's which happen to be 16x8 +20. That's the sorta fitment you'll have with the +25. They are on point IMO, And don't look too over the top with that offset.
